Welcome back to modeling brad80904 and welcome to the FSM forum ...
As to your questions regarding scale model paints ... I have had good luck with the Tamiya brand of paints ... I think the key to being happy with scale model paints is to try the differnent brands and see what works well for you, your set up and your projects.
Best of luck and I hope you find plenty of time to visit here, read and comment with your fellow hobbyists.
