Water based paints have come along way since they first came out. They do clean easier and there is no stink left behind from cleaning solvents, and better for your lungs in general. They have a comparable shine, with proper surface prep and several thin coats they are durable. Acrylic laquer paints have a superior shine if buffed correctly (it will look like the paint is 3ft deep) when looking into it. My dad airbrushed car hoods 40years ago that weren't always garaged and there is some small chips but only noticeable when up close.
For the brush up paper it goes for about $4 a sheet and if you use distilled water you can easily get 100+ tests before it goes bad. You can find it at most any arts and crafts store. Its really meant for people learning how to paint canvas art. You take wet paint brush and basically paint the paper and it will show you what your doing.
I wanted to go to my parents house tonight and dig up our photos but they've got the flu and I'm not touching that (I'm allergic to the flu shot). So ill post up some pic's my the middle of next week hopefully!
