"Acrylic" Paint

[JoeS]

My grandfather used to make lots of noice toys out of wood and finish them with "acrylic" based paint - sadly he is no longer with us.

Where does one buy good quality "acrylic" paints for small hobby wood working projects? I want to add a red stripe across a shield I've made a sprog - but can't find any information.

I'm also interested in what kind of primer I should use?

Not really my thing but several years back I helped my son make a Roman shield and sword for a school project . Had no idea tbh and I paid no attention many years ago during art lessons so I ended up at hobby craft . Bit pricey but got loads of advice .
