Aunty Lenny's shop at Endah Parade has them, but not that many variety of colors, as most ppl tend to use them only for lining work.

If you guys don't mind the branding, can try Humbrol enamel paint. It's rm6 a bottle. I got it from Hobby HQ City Square. They have a lot of colors to choose from.

Humbrol is another enamel paint and have a very large range of color. Provided our local store have stock it enough. Humbrol ams tamiya enamel paint is mean for plastic paint, So it is save.

One good think about enamel paint is, it is thin, easy to apply and dry fast.

abit of side note for u enamel paint user ...... enamel is save with PS plastic but it will harm ABS plastic .... it is not recommend that u apply enamel on ABS plastick cause it will make the plastic become "Crispy" ...... if u guys dunno which part of the kit is ABS plastic check the instruction book .... but mostly will be either the skel frame or the joints .....
