Any hobby/model paint will do; I prefer Testors myself.

The Testors were actually the ones used in Customising Classes of BotCon. Just a word of warning: if you need to remove paint, do not use anything that has acetone in it, as that'll eat the plastic before you can say hello.

Going to go with everyone else - Testors is the best. That's the only kind of paint I ever use with my model cars. It's a quality product and the consistency is awesome. I've tried other brands and they were just too runny and streaky for me.

Like many others have already said, Testors is the best one to use. I've used it on the few customs I've done.

Testors/Model Master is good to use. I prefer their acrylic lines, but the enamels work equally well. Tamiya acrylics work well also.
I've even used artist paints like liquitex before and had decent results, especially airbrushing.

That thing looks sick dude!
But yes Testors works the best. Also DO NOT FORGET TO GET DIFFERENT SIZE PAINT BRUSHES!! And maybe some brush cleaner. And if you use Sliver on certain parts, and it dries all sticky like just dab a bit of clear nail polish on it and it should be ok.
Big McIntosh walked away from the shed on the farm where this took place. He cleaned himself up, said yyyyyyyyyyyyyup, and walked off, ready to buck some apples.
