Need some simple help from my fellow customizers. I usually use enamel model paint on my customs but as you pose them the paint can chip off. Does anyone have an idea on how to be able keep this from happening. Is there a clear coat paint or something that will work? Thanks in advance for any help.

I know that you can sand down the figure a little bit around those areas. This can help the pieces from coming into contact too much and chipping. Other than that, I'm not too sure.

Yeah it's mostly just trimming, sanding, painting then repeat as needed and then final clear coat of some kind even if it's just hair spray. It can vary also item to item and plastic grade. Water soluble paints need the protective coat too unless you're a glutton for repainting.
