What paints to use for custom head job?

SHEMAN · 01-26-2025, 11:00 AM

Can anyone help?

I have a Finn Balor WWE Masters of the universe figure.

He has a great head sculpt, but I wanted to paint it just looking like a 'regular' head (without the facepaint).

Does anyone know what would be the best paints for this task?

I'm not sure if regular artist acrylics would be good enough?
Perhaps the citadel/warhammer paints might work?

Or are there better ones? I'm looking (hoping) for something strong that will withstand a bit of action.

As a primer what would be best? - Just the same (white) paint?

Any help would be greatly appreciated, thank you.

Acrylic model paints work well with plastic.
