So I am currently working on a model of a Ghost from the game Destiny.
You can see my progress here,

And I am doing the finishing touches on the modeling, and the one thing I'm double checking before I send a few parts off to get printed are tolerances between all the parts. Especially when it come to parts that I know are going to be painted. I want to take into account how much the paint is going to eat up my tolerances.
I have been roughly adding .2mm between all parts that are going to be touching or interlocking, and I also plan on painting it with an air brush and lacquer paint. so my question is, will I need more space between parts? How thick are paint paint coats usually? any advice for painting models with moving/interlocking parts?
