Try using Army Painter, they have a selection of washes and primers to choose from, and they go quite well with GW paints (which I also recommend using, they've got some good ones)jonnyfiyve wrote:I'm using Acrylic paint, but I'm kind of getting annoyed of seeing the brush strokes.Assassinater117 wrote:Thanks for all the responses guys, though I was wondering what kind of paint is best for painting/customizing figures and or bricks (mainly figs) like if I can use normal paint or if there is something else? so yeah just any tips for custom painting :)
I'm temped to try an air brush or aerosol paint. Anyone have any experience painting figs with either of those?
Also, I've come to realize I should try to primer the pieces before.
Will take less coats of paint and it might also solve my brush stroke problem.

What I had in mind was a Judge Dredd themed motorcycle. If you're not familiar, it's simply called the "Lawmaster" if you could search that name in google, it almost looks like the bike from the motorcycle breakout set but with bigger wheels, what do you think should I get to build it?

I do have an air brush but I haven't used it on any of my custom figures and builds.Jason-101 wrote:I'm very experienced in air brush painting on autobody, plastics, and wood products. J5; let me know how air brushing these figures turn out for you. I'm gonna try some myself after the new year. Today, On some of my figures I use a regular permanent marker.
