Hey Colby, for the buttons on the ab plate and the rivets I’d use a small rounded brush. If you are talking about the details on the helmet, I use a combination of a thin striping brush, a medium sized rounded brush, and a small flat brush.

I’d recommend watching these videos before painting your helmet to get a couple of ideas on how other people paint them:

I used the same brushes I use for miniature painting. Your local game store should have a decent selection. Something resembling these.
