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.
i do the same as well and i also put 1 thin coat of paint then 1 coat of sealant then 1 coat paint then the final sealant coat on entire figure

Thanks for the suggestions everyone. Yeah, I have sealant spray paint. Though it's too time consuming for me to do so.
As for Citadel paints, $3.70! Whew, just to get all the colors I need would be $160.00! Man that's a lot of mulla. I might try some though.
I looked up Valejo paint this product is really cheap on ebay. Say if I painted a hand and then painted the weapon, would the paint from both rub off on each other when joined together?
Privateer seems to be the same way on prices as Citadel. Man, paint is high. Though I might try some too.
As for the BH joint suggestion, that's very clever Darth Daddy. I never would have thought to sand down the joint.
Huh, seems Privateer is the almost the same way as Citadel too. Do these companies think people are rich?

Reason I'm doing this is because I want to repaint the 4 (Han, Chewie, Usidas, and  Yasis.) previous customs. It shouldn't be to hard for me to get the old paint and superglue off. Oh, by the way if you use Apple Barrel and Folk-Art products and you want to remove the old paint. Use Wal-Mart's alcohol pads, they're in the Pharmacy Diabetic section and work great after a couple in the same place.

Okay I've got bad news, I'm taking a break from customizing. The good news is I'll be back; this isn't the end, but for me afford professional paint and equipment is going to take a couple months of hard work for funds. Which means time consumed to work not customs. When I do get back though, you'll hopefully see 2.0 versions of the other 4 customs and some stellar work. Plus, time away means to find new fodder too. I'll post and look at everyone's customs still and request some things time to time. Hope to show some better results of customs. See ya then.

Well cost is definitely a factor in this hobby. I do enjoy your customs so I was glad to hear it is only a small break.

Okay. So while waiting for paint and a new desk. Thought I should show preparation. Yes, it's messy. This is all the stuff the new desk is going to have on it.



Made a lightbox, got inspiration from Incom. Cheap too, cost to make is a $1.57. All ya need is 6x6x5 box and white fabric.




Hopefully 2 side lights will make it better.

Here's the desk I'm getting.

That desk looks good. Are you gonna put your computer in there too or just use it for customizing?

Dude...I understand the need to put the hobby on "pause" for a while, it's an expensive addiction!  In my area, I NEVER find figs/vehicles at garage sales/thrift stores, I have to pay full price or wait for a 'Con to roll around and hope I snag some cheap pieces (after paying for tickets, parking, gas, etc!).  Also, a few years ago I made the jump from the "craft store" paints to Citadel paints.  It is TOTALLY worth the investment!  I still use the cheap ones for large items, background stuff, accessories, etc...but I LOVE the better quality paints.  I don't regret the decision to upgrade my paint collection.

Mmm hmm, that's what I'm doing. The cheap paint will be used for dios and such. I go to Toy Shows and it's the same as the Cons, "Gas, pay to get in, etc.", but I find great deals. I also check craigslist's yard sales for figures, I got lucky last year with one. $3 a fig, *Cha-Ching* So thanks for the support.
