I would recommend Bosny paints. They are meant for automotive use, and are a formula of acrylic epoxy resin but they work rather well with plastic kits - I’ve been using them for years with hardly any problems. Bosny in particular is also the least stinky of the paints I’ve tried ^_^
The only issues I’ve had with them are getting the paint even - you really have to pay attention to how you use it and go on too heavy all at once. The trick is to use thin coats and have it dry a half hour between coats.
You can also try using the RJ brand of paints, since that and Bosny come from the same manufacturer, thus use a similar formula.
