(I'm not airbrushing it... my friend will do that part)
I would like to hear some feedbacks from all.
If it's toxic, then i prefer to take other options..
Please reply if you have good opinions! Thanks!

I have painted a lot of gundam model kits (plastic kits) with airbrush
i typically used acrylic paints - these are what id say are typically used to paint toys that or enamel.. which is oil based
unless u are eating the toy - after its coated with a finish its not "toxic" but like any other paints - i am assuming that yoru airbrusher will be using some kind of thinner so that it sprays - and will have to do multiple coat. and even before that i hope he primes the toy so that the paint sticks...
so how it works (for me n e ways)
plastic - primer - paint - clear coat
it will smell for the first few days but once it airs out its fine... and i am still alive so i dont think its "toxic" but just be careful if u have bad respiratory or low immunity to artificial/chemicals etc
**spray bottle paints are same (typically acrylic) but harder (i find) to properly control unless u are doing background and massive surfaces
other options are semi expensive and well more time/work consuming.
resin casting it to a specific colour
or 3d printing to limited colours of like black/white/brown/clear
... now i miss making/painting kits and toys
thanks bud! thanks .... alot *sobs sobs - runs away
