Well, I'm not an authority on paint, but I always start with a couple coats of primer to take down that semi glossy sheen off the parts, followed by whatever colors I am using after.
A good hardware store usually has a good selection of paints for whatever shades you are using, especially red. Tamiya makes great paint, but thats brush on, and I brush painted my K-19 model, it turned out nicely.
