great paint job bro! there is so much detail in that figure that was lost with the original paint apps. I'm trying to improve my custom game myself, so, trying not to sound to ignorant, what are p3 paints? how did you apply the paint? what kind of water biased lacquer did you use? and lastly how durable is the paint? my problem with everything I've ever painted is that the paint rubs and comes off too easy, I've mostly used crappy hobby lobby acrylics and a spray acrylic sealer.

thanks bro
p3 formula paints are acrylic based paints made in the uk
they come in a wide array of colors ,they are super durable and adhere very good to most of platics.
are u preping your figures pre paint? sanding down joint rub? primering the figure? do u remember to wash the parts with warm soapy water?
by using cheap acrylics from hobby stores u wont reach the goal u want.
ide recommend buying a few good acrylic paints from a known brand and see the difference by yourself.

all the paint apps were made via brush.i use washes inks and dry brushing ...
about the sealer i dont remember the brand .ill get back to ya about this

That is a bad ass repaint! always loved the sculpts on the original turtle line but its not until you see a paint job like this that you realise how brilliant they could/can look.
