Here recently, I bought a 44 cent bottle of some brown paint from Wal*Mart in the crafts department. It's not oil based paint, it's water based acrylic I think. It comes in a bottle about 3 inches high or you can get a big bottle about 6 inches high. The paint seemed to stick good and looked good on 8 of my Athearn cars that I painted. I've been using some of my old cars to create a shortline railroad, so that is why I've been painting a little on them. Anyway, the paint from "Wally World!!" seemed to work good for something simple, but If you want to paint an engine or something like that, you might consider a much higher quality of paint. I've also tried the testors oil-based paint that comes in little glass bottles, but I'm not as crazy about using it on my railcars as I am the acrylic 3 inch bottles that Wal*Mart Sells. The testors paint was way too shiny, and most railcars aren't very very shiny, they're old and worn out.
