Paiting rubber figures
« on: January 20, 2011, 01:16:31 PM »
G'day all,

I thought I might take my rubber AFM alien figures to the Dentist and give them some shiny white pearlers. Has any one done this and is there any special paint to use beiing they are rubber???

Cheers,

Rich.........................................................................

I've had success with Revell or Humbrol enamels on rubber figures.
Acrylic tends to "bead" and doesn't adhere well.
