Get as good brush with 2 or 3 mm tip. I use master g44 this may not be good to some but works for me. Braided hose, inline air filter/ water trap, compressor if you dont have one. createx paints in opaque colors white black red blue ect. A good range of transpaent( green, red , blue, yellow, purple, silver , gold, orange, torquiose) and pearl colors, iridesent colors.Your colors really depend on what all you paln on painting. Shad colors , blue gills, crawfish or all. i use 2 ton epoxy ( 30min) for the top coat. Cheap paint brushes for the epoxy.
