Detail Painting

I was looking for some feedback on what brand and colors of paint people use for detail/hand brush painting?  I have found Tamiya acrylics are not the best for brush painting and there metalics are not the greatest.  I am trying to figure out what to use for detail painting small parts in the car interior as well as engine parts, I have even read of builders brush painting chassis parts as well as gas tanks etc.  For flat silvers and steel, gold, copper etc I would think enamel would be best.  At my LHS I can select from Humbrol and Model Master enamels as well as the small Testors paint jars.  I read many articles but not many people mention the brand of paint they are using just the color.

"Korea. Korea? KOREA??!! I must have been somewhere else," said Times correspondent Kevin Eason on Twitter. Daily Mirror journalist Byron Young added, "The Korean GP, complete with event and flight chaos, shoddy hotels and things I won't mention, won the race promotors? trophy. Why?"
