              I always paint the ZICA body hands with acrylic no problems. They take paint very well with minimal rub. A primer might help but I rarely use it. Just be sure to seal it and it should work like a champ.
              I almost had a psychic girlfriend but she dumped me before we met.

              If anyone here believes in psychokinesis, please raise my hand.

                  what can be used to seal acrylic that leaves the finish completely flat with no shine? I've bought every brand marked flat at Home Depot but they all end up like a satin finish.
