err firstly dont bump but i am sorry because i actually found out this okay... my new method of painting trucks.

firstly, 1 thin coat of white acrylic paint to work as the base layer. this ensures it will stick to the metal.
let it dry.
we all know hobby paint has the best quality. so i highly recommend Tamiya Scale modeling paint, or warhammer 40k paint. they have the highest quality of shine and some built in laquer thingy.
buy ur paint
spray it and allow it to dry then laquer it. repeat the process 3 times with thin coats of spray paint and laquer. finally, heavilly spray many thin coats of laquer and sand the excess off when it is dry

interesting..... have you tried it yet?

i tried tamiya paint before. it works. i havent tried 40k paint though. its quite expensive.

every time that i try to paint my trucks it normally paint over the holes and than it gets messed up

there too hard!

took me ages to find a good solution, take the kingpin on another truck and screw it through where the holes shud be, that way it'll have good perfectly round holes, and do a base coat first of yellow, it usually works better then white as a base.

laqure it or just keep re painting it...

same thing will happen, waste of materials. Um... there might be a special metal paint, or a special kind of laquer. Try asking some truck companies. They know what there doing.

3 coats of humbrol super enamel paint
