Go to your local hobby shop, or any place sells models. They will most likely have model paint also. That will be the best way to go if you want a professional look. As far as your rims, first find out what color you want to paint your car first and then decide from there.

I say go out and buy an airbrush for like 25-30 bucks at Wal Mart paint everything over. For a Supra, paint the rims a white, really white. A dark grey would look awesome too.

If it was up to me I would paint the rims chrome.

or you could use nail polish because it works really good and drys fast and also comes out smooth.

Tamyia paint cans all the way..

Air brushs are good, but can be a pain to clean. Just go to your hobbyshop and pick up some Tamiya Surface Primer, Tamiya Clear, and The color of your choice.

Paint takes time to get used to if you are new at this, so give it some time with your first start out.

i wouldn't do orange cuz it is hard to find a nice orange for a good price i was painting a f&f supra model and i had to mix about 4 diff. oranges to get it to look like the real car and it still wasn't how i wanted it.
also i wouldn't make it orange cuz ppl will think u only know f&f cars i would use a bright blue or yellow
