Hi Amani, Yes, we all have to start somewhere. If you like it, get it and go for it. You can use real automotive paint on models. Most I build are painted with real car paint. It's best to do all your painting first, at least I do, then you can concentrate on the assembly. They're not all that hard, just follow your directions that come with the kit. I'm sure there are other experienced modelers that can give more feedback as well. I never had anyone show me how to build, I just bought one and started it, I was maybe 10 yrs. old, it was an AMT '71 Thunderbird. It didn't turn out the greatest but I got better with each one I did. You CAN do this. You're fortunate enough to have a place like this to come to for advice, when I started there wasn't an internet LOL. The main thing is just try it and have fun. That's what it's all about. Good luck and show it to us when you're done or even progress pics if you like. I'd love to see it.
Here are a some of my builds painted with real car paint.
