Spraycans are ok, so long as you have a decent brand - I like the Tamiya sprays. One brand I have found useful: Citadel Minatures. Not sure if Games Workshop is available over there, they sell to the wargaming crowd with whitemetal figures, etc, but they also have great paints - their cans of black and white spraypaint make great undercoats and will save you money - an undercoat of white will allow you to use fewer coats of light colours, saving money and resulting in a better finish. Hope this helps! <br /> <br />P.S. The Citadel black aerosol is pretty good for generic all-purpose black paint - it has a nice dull finish and seems to stick well to anything, have used it on a few Athearn BB loco truck sideframes to remove the "plastic" appearence.
