How do you know what paint to use on my model

My caregiver and I went to Walmart today and I bought these brushes.

EDIT:: they cost me $9.88 total with tax.

DOH! I thought the brush kit had brushes in it that it doesn't have. I thought it had a fan brush but it does not. I can't see wanting more brushes... I can see getting some higher quality brushes. (Some were damaged in shipping.)

It's harder than I thought it would be gettinng the paint on the package that the brushes came in. Then I realized that the paper was made from something slick so maybe it will be easier to spread than I have experienced?

I didn't like any of the suggested colors when converting from Mr. COLOR to AK and I just picked an orange that looked good to me. The problem with that is that the circle of what is supposed to look like the paint in the bottle is NOTHING CLOSE to the real paint on the computer.

What I got was nice though. It looks like someone going hunting. LO!


Here's a pic of the Olive Drab Faded and the luminous orange

It looks like I need to thin the paint somehow according to a video I just watched. How do I know how much to thin it? I'm using Acrylic and Lacquer paints.
