Best paint for heads?

[BATMAN89]

Hey everyone,
What is the best paint for resin heads?
I either really suck at painting them, or I am using the wrong quality paint.
I really need a caucasian flesh color for the face also.
Thanks in advance!

IMO I've had good luck with apple barrel. It's cheap and easy to work with.

I just use the cheap stuff, like apple barrel. But the paint is very watered down, so I put about 10 or 20 layers. Sometimes I get frustrated and use a thicker layer of liquitex...but then that gets covered up with more layers of watered down cheap acrylics.

Apple Barrel and similar brands work ok. I recently started using slightly nicer acrylics and really like the way they turned out. I've had good results with Liquitex, but right now my favorite paints are Testor's Acrylics.

I go the cheapo route too. Apple Barrell or whatever.

I use folk art paints $1.49 for 2oz bottle.
Acrylic paint.
The flesh tone you have to mix a bit to get the desired shade you want.

Hmmmm....

Reaper makes good stuff. I like the "Formula P3" stuff as well; but can't remember who puts it out.

I mostly use Gamers Workshop paints which are a bit pricey but you get what you pay for.

In regards to causasian skin tone I use Testor's Model Master Skin Tone Warm Tint acrylic.

I also use Games workshop paints and Delta. I mix my own flesh tone.

I mostly use Gamers Workshop you get what you pay for..

Word ... True that.

I use El-Cheap-o Stuff too ..., and Mix and Match so Much Crap these Days.

Thanks Austin, I bought the Testors flesh color.

Thanks JMC, Jessica, Del, and Thunderbolt!
The Hobby Lobby by me doesn't have Apple Barrel.
So I bought Folk Art, Fallensaviour, thanks, I'll see how that works.
Thanks to Don C., Jerry68, BlackKnight also. Thanks to all for your help!
I'll let you all know how it goes.

I've used Folk Art as well. Lots of cheap stuff.

Games workshop is the main paint I use(you don't even need to use primer). However, for light colors like white or yellow...the use cheap stuff, it seems to be thicker. But JMC turn me on to Apple Barrel's Cobalt Blue and it worked GREAT!
