    Types of painting materials

    Hi I am wondering if some of the members on this site could shed some light towards which painting material is suitable for painting hairs or rubs on mego figure heads.

    I am trying to find the right painting type which is used for painting on Megos.
    I am wanting to re paint my Hulk's hair on his head as it got rubbed away.

    Let me know and it is much appreciated thanks

    I'd use Delta Ceramcoat. And seal it with acrylic matte medium. But just seal the paint and not the green rubber. It stays tacky on the rubber but works great on the paint.

      Lonnie is correct... Actually, any acrylic paint will work. If you plan on simply displaying the figure and not handling it all that much, you really don't even need to seal it.

        I like things sealed because the slightest bump and paint gets damaged. It comes off the regular heads way easier than the resin heads, that's for sure.

          Hmmmm....

          On original heads I use auto interior paint. It soaks into the vinyl and bonds better than the original stuff. No sealer required. Read the safety instructions though.
