I did my Tempo with a small brush and water-based acrylic paint. That way if I didn't like the results it'd be easy to go back.
The paint weathered surprisingly well. These pictures were about a year after application, and it still looked great.
[EDIT] Whoopsie. While digging for some parts I found the paint that I used and it wasn't acrylic at all. It was Krylon Short Cuts (or something similar). Touch-up enamel in a small bottle. Guess that explains why the "acrylic" weathered so well. haha
