I have no idea where you can get the cheapest paint but bare in mind that the shipping cost from where you are getting the cheap paint from; also, be awared of slow delivery when paints can be sitting in some mail store room/warehouse in cold temperature. This might dry out the paint.

These are the colour charts from Tamiya, Japan. English charts are basically the same but with a few taken out of the chart.

Acrylic paint: http://www.tamiya.com/japan/products/list/...t/acrylic_1.htm

These have the the same colour on the web page, but their actual colours are:

X-2 White

X-20A Acrylic thinner

X-21 Flat base

X-22 Clear

Enamel paint: http://www.tamiya.com/japan/products/list/enamel_1.htm

X2, X20, X21, X22 are the same with X20 comes in small and big bottles

Spray Paint:

Air model spray (aircraft, fighter plane)

There are a few more types.....

Check out the English charts also, but bare in mind that there might not have as many colours as the Japanese counterparts. If you are not in Japan, the colours are limited to those available for the outside-Japan market. Mix your own color if you are into airbrush or place a special order.
