What do you mean by sticking? do you mean the paint is tacky? If that's the case, then you probably used the wrong type of paint.

i used delta ceramcoat acrylic paint which is what i'm suposed to, right. i'm new to painting so i don't know if i add too much paint or what. as far as sticky i mean the knee joint is like its glued but with a little force it moves fine and will for a little while. if i leave it setting for a while then it goes back to being stuck and hard to move again.

Yes, that's a fine paint to use. You are probably 'glopping' too much paint over the joints. Acrylic paints form somewhat of a plastic when dried so I'd recommend using less paint and not painting directly over the joint. |
