What paints work best with LEGO® minifigs?
From Mark de Kock: ! Have you tried acrylic paints from Games Workshop®? These paints are specially designed to be put on plastic figures. Thin the paint down with water before use. From Justin M. Kopp: ! A different method a friend and I always used: Fine point Sharpie Markers. Last a long time as long as you let them dry and are gentle with your minifigs. Plus, a little rubbing alcohol takes it all off! From Mark Sandlin: ! I use the Marvy-Uchida brand DecoColor markers for colors, and Sharpies only for black. After I paint them, I ll put the minifig next to a 60 watt lightbulb to dry. (Not too close, or you might cook your fig!) I let them dry for at least 24 hours next to the bulb before I touch them. Here s an example: For more pictures, see Aves and his Payback in the Spacecraft section of my site.
