I was going to fully disassemble everything and repaint it a different color.

What kind of paint should be used if sanding is used? Tamiya TS-line paint? Or automotive paint like Duplicolor? I'm assuming if I can use Tamiya, I wouldn't have to use a paint hardener/curer.

I should probably try practicing on one of my old Maisto models before ordering and spending over $250 on an AutoArt. lol
