Hey, I was wondering what is the best paint to use to paint the hair? You know, one that doesn't come off easily and looks good. Or one that doesn't make the action figure sticky.
I'm trying to make a Layla custom and I'm not really sure which paint to use.
thanks

Same paint I use to do the rest of my figures, acrylic. I've never had a problem with it.

Try letting that acrylic you use dry, then put sealer on top. Modge Podge works well.

In general, you should work in thin layers. Water down your paint; it keeps things smooth as well. Use the MATTE Mod Podge; won't be shiny.
