    CTVT Muscle Body - To Paint or to Dye??

    My Daughter wants me to make a Blue Hulk for her. It's going to be played with, but not aggressively. I will be painting a resin Hulk head. I have a White muscle body coming from CTVT. I've read a lot about both Painting and Dyeing, but I just can't decide which would be better. I've also read about using acetone, but not sure how well that would work on CTVT body. I will be taking the body apart regardless of method. Any tips, suggestions or thoughts would be appreciated.

    Thanks

    Krylon Fusion Spraypaint for plastics.

    Here's a spray painted doc body that I used for my hulk:

      That looks real nice. Did you take the body apart to paint it? Also, is any of the paint rubbing off at the joints?

        I rushed it, I just painted the body assembled . I believe there is slight rub-age.
        I guarantee if you take it apart, paint every piece individually, let it dry FOR A GOOD time, and then seal it, you'll be golden.

          I think I'm leaning towards dyeing it and if that doesn't go well, I can always paint.
