You can try out some paints from Tamiya if you want a brand of paint thats specifically made for hobby enthusiasts. These are the paints they use for model cars and planes so you know that this is a reliable brand that you can count on. It comes in a wide variety of hues and colors to choose from and I’m sure you can easily find a color that matches your ties. The paint comes in both Enamel or Acrylic which can either be solvent based or water based (I suggest water base to make sure you don’t damage your base especially if you are using foam. You can thin it down then brush it on by hand using sable tipped hobby brushes. I use sable brushes because they are easy to clean and lasts a long time, the brand I use is Le Franc, but you can use any brand or type of brush you like. Whats important is that you are comfortable with it and it gets the job done. You could also thin down the paint to the consistency of milk and use it to airbrush your paint. Very useful if you want fast even painting which produces even tones and coating (provided you already know how to use one). Hope this helps
