Whats the best paint to use if you want your figs to stay playable? Ive tried a lot of different kinds, and so far, none of it is playable, and either marks up my ring and figures, or peels off after a while. Karma to the first person who gives me a good answer.  |

You should seal the paint. It shouldn't chip off then.

I have heard from people that if you use Testors Acrylic you don't have to seal it and it won't chip, otherwise use a sealer after you are done painting.

paint= always acrylic. You can use Apple Barrel. Folk Art, or Delta Ceramcoat, which are found in the craft department of Wal-Mart for about .50-.70 each, or you can go up an notch and use Testors, which I think you can find in the model car department or at craft stores, but make sure you get acrylic, because they make enamel and enamel=bad.
For sealer, I've been using Krylon Crystal Clear Acrylic Coating, and I like it. We had a big discussion about sealers in the custom discussion thread this month so you can browse through that and try to find some of the other peoples' tips.
