Airbrush will give u the best results. If not, u can try spraycan.
Paint brush and markers are more difficult coz not easy to paint it evenly.
Before painting, wash the parts in warm soapy water to remove oil. Then prime the parts first before painting. After painting, apply topcoat to protect the paint

Do i need to use any thinner in the process ? if yes , any specific kind ?

Thanks
Thinner depends on the type of paint u using. There is enamel and lacquer based paint, with their respective thinner. There is also aqueous paint that can be mixed with water

Hi, while i am not so sure about the shipping rates for both but if you are going for gunpla shopping online, I find Banzaihobby prices more attractive than HLJ/Zamazon.jp. Their shipping rates are quite competitive too, you will be able to see the quote of the shipping rates before you make the order. Every now and then Banzaihobby will have those sales going on. Another site I normally go will be Amiami. :)

Taobao.. I shipped a double piston compressor for under S$200. Cheap air brush too.. Ustar brand.. look in the enlly store. Taobao is the way to go for hobby supplies. Only complicated stuff is the paints and thinners
