Painting the helmet: What paints should I be using?

[Haribon72[TK]]

Hello!   I got my helmet from Scootch last night and I wanted to get a shopping list together before I stop by Home Depot, Lowes, Michaels, and anywhere else that sells paint.    Can you share me a recommended list?  Here's a picture of my build.   Yes, I'm starting from the beginning (this is my first build).     Please feel free to add any brushes or specialty tools.  Thank you!

 

Btw... I have all the cutting tools already (sandpaper, magnets, clamps, hot glue, etc...etc...etc..).   Just need the paint and brushes list (like primer...Krylon...etc..etc..etc..).

I forgot to add:  I will be using the decals, but.....

 

1. What primer should I use to paint the whole helmet?

2. How many coats of primer?

3. What color white?  Is there a specific brand?

4. Should it be glossy or matte?

5. How many coats of white?

The helmet link in my signature shows everything. Just get it in white. Minus the sanding and everything I did to it. Scootch also has a how to assemble thread
