I've painted a few now. Give it a quick key up before priming nothing to harsh and good to go. I have mostly used automotive aresol cans but occasionally I'll use marble effect paints for patterns, have even used textured underbody/bumper paint with no issues.
Mask off your bedding area and use a matte
(not satin) clear over the top for added durability and it also takes away any gloss from whatever paint your using.
My first paint job was on a stug and it's still going strong after going through a few sets of hands.

I'll check tomorrow I'm out at the speedway for the night, got it from mitre 10, there is a big difference between satin and matte

Hydro dipping is an option choice of patterns available and wear well,cheers
