Not only did we get a better Boba earlier this year, but now we got a better Han & Chewie. Might have to try the Han upgrades. Thanks for sharing with us.

Okay, now I have lots of acrylic paints. Apple Barrel and  Folk-Art, but I'm sick of the results I get with them. So what's the best paint for customs to buy?

I need something that holds up to other painted items.
Doesn't scratch.
Holds on BH joints.
Takes only a couple coats.
Dries under heat from a blow dryer. (Hehe, don't want flammable. Though if it is, that's okay.)
And comes off easy with water on my brushes.

Must be cost efficient.

Suggestions?

By the way just so everyone knows. Local Hobby stores have all closed near my me. Hobby Lobby is 35 miles from me. Hungates locations closed. Michael's and A.C. Moore don't have a lot of Hobby paint. I have Testors Enamel, though they get sticky when dried.

I have been wondering the same thing. I find that Testors model paints never really dry and remain sticky. I find spray paint works pretty well even is thin enough to not rub off on some ball joints. Also Rustoleum oil based enamel drys hard and non sticky. Dries very smooth and glossy. Not sure what else to use.

all citadel, valejo and privateer press paints work very well and go on evenly and don't get sticky

I usually use the Reaper paints, but now that they have gone out of business, I have started to use Vallejo and Citadel.  All work great, but I always sand down ball hinge joints with my Dremel so I don't have any wear when they are used.
