You can use any model or automotive paint: It's basically a giant static model body, so read up on painting them to see how to do it.

Tamiya lacquers are very popular in scale modeling.

Thank you.. I just want it to be shiney.. do you think that Krylon stuff .. the one that bonds to plastic will work good?

I haven't heard much about the new plastic Krylon stuff, but I think I read that it doesn't like styrene and actually melts it.

If you use a good primer, you can use regulay Krylon or automotive paint, which should give a pretty decent finish if you apply it correctly (Lots of light coats). Tamiya's lacquer is really easy to apply as well, and cures very quickly.
