Tamiya actually has their own line of paints , I have always had good luck with them . Unless you are one of talented sorts that uses an airbrush ....

I really like Tamiya metallic paints. The particles are really small and give a great scale look. Much finer than Pactra.

Since its a hard body, I would go to WalMart and get some automotive quality primer and have a look at their 1:1 automotive touch-up spray paints. They have a lot of colors to choose from, but...

You might find the actual Tundra colors.....

I would pick up a can of clear coat to go over it all too,
for a nice shiny finish.
