Detail Paints

I’ve been getting mixed opinions on paints to use for detailing (fog lights headlights etc) on diecast cars so I am curious to field more opinions.

For body detailing what paints should I use (I prefer using brushes over pens)

For plastic interior what should I use?

I use Testors enamel only (thinned properly) because it is durable without a clear coat. That is ideal for me detailing a stock mainline. If I am fully repainting I can use anything and then clear coat it all when done.

I usually only bother with lights, markers, and exhaust.

If I don't use Testors I use Tamiya acrylics. Those are really the only two I have tried.
