Paint type - which one to use

[ship wizzard]

Hi everyone,

 

I am new in this so i need help. (Questions for wooden ship)

 

1. Can you reccomend me what type of paint to use? Acrylic or another?

 

2. Which paint is the most resistant (that will not fade and will not crack)?

 

3. After applying paint do I need to apply varnish to protect color?.

 

4. Which primer to apply before applying the paint?

 

Cheers!

Has anyone tried MODEL MASTERS? I used these because of the great selection they have. Not only can they be brushed they can be used in air brushing.
