I have never painted anything whether it is a figure or belt. I want to paint the strap of one of my Mattel Winged Eagle belts, but have no idea where to begin as far as what type of paint (brand/style/etc) I need and where I can buy it and what type/size brush I would need. I'm looking for something that will not cost too much, but also not look cheap. My figures are for display only. I've seen Larry Axe Hennig's work of a painted Winged Eagle belt which is exactly what I want to do  If anyone could give me any help here, it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks so much! |

I've been wondering the same thing. I'd like to paint the Hardcore title.

I customize figures (mostly DC Universe Classics and Marvel Legends) and the paint that I use is Delta Creative 2 fl oz. Testors paints are the best, but if you're just painting the belts Apple Barrel should work just fine. I usually spray a protective coat afterwards, but I don't think it's necessary here. Remember not to paint it on too thick, because then the paint might crack. Hope this helps
