Hi , i have a few questions i would like to ask about painting a model kit .

Firstly , i'm a beginner , just learning to paint my first kit atm and i'm having some issues

First question is , where can i buy Mr Color paints and thinner ? i bought the ones i had from a trip to japan and by the looks of it i dont think i have enough (especially thinner)

Second is , how do i make the paint look less 'shiny' ?

Sometimes its too 'wet and thick' sometimes it too runny :/

I'm using a paintbrush to paint it

This is the picture of the problem i'm having :/
The top row left and middle are too 'shiny' and the rest are the right shade of color imo , that's the shade i want to get



Also does normal thinner work just as well as the Mr Color thinner ?

On my paint bottle (Mr color) it says metallic , steel , primary , i bought the paint because my model instructions had a paint scheme for the model and recommended colors using the Mr colors numbering scheme so i just foloow

eh really i didnt know there was such a thing >.< is there a shop you can recommend me to go where i can get all these supplies ? preferably in KL area

TBH i didnt trawl through this thread lols , just read first few post and posted , but the one in 1 U is it the tamiya shop ? cause last time i was there i was told they only sell Tamiya stuff and not Mr color
