What paint should I use if I want to paint an action figure?

Question

I want to customize some regular action figures, like normal 4-6 inch toys, is there any paint I can use that is durable enough I can still play with the figure?

Answer 1

use spray paint.  

Answer 2

I use Testors enamel and acrylic paint for mine and it works great. EBay and most hobby shops carry it.

Answer 3

If the plastic is somewhat bendable (like Star Wars) do not use enamels since they will remain sticky all the time.

Answer 4

If you work in a Walmart factory in China, then you'll have to paint all the toys with lead paint. I think it's the law.
