    Painting an original Mego head

    I'm getting ready to customize my spare General Ursus into Julius. Thanks to jessica I have a great Julius costume. My plan is to paint Ursus' skin from its original black to brown. What is the best type of paint to use on a Mego head? Something non-sticky would be preferred.

    I use model & craft acryllics. Thinning them with a bit of gloss or matte acrylic "varnish" will make them go on smoothly & dry to a more durable finish. Using good brushes is essential!

    Clean the head well before painting--I use rubbibg alcohol.

      Any acrylic should dry non-sticky.
