Head paint?

[Mr Havoc]

What type of head paint do you use? Brand , type? Thanks

I use plain old acrylics...not the most pricey ones either. *shrug*

Good brushes are imperative, though.

I hope that helps!

Acrylic's as well.
Joans & Micheals have the cheap ones... } FolkArt & Dreamcraft with a few others...
If you want Quality,.. The More so Spendy Acrylics are Wonderful.
Vallejo paint is great & so are the Paints at the GameWork Shop stores in the Malls.

If you are thinking Testors model paint, I never had good results and stopped using it immediately. Acrylics, and good brushes. There is a good head painting tutorial in the museum. I follow it almost exactly and have been getting much better results.

I used acrylics and an all purpose sealer.

[Megospidey]

I only use Tamiya acrylics.

Hmmmm....

I use house primer first, then typically acrlics. The Games Workshop stuff is good. So are the Reaper paints. (reaper.com has them) I use Liquitex and Createx too; although the Createx stuff is real thin. Liquitex and Createx paints are designed for airbrushes. (So yeah, I use 'em when I airbrush too.)

Testors enamel is WAY thick, and not good for heads with a lot of fine detail, although I HAVE used it on more than a few custom heads. Use it carefully. Testor's green is a good match for a green Mego body, and Testor's wood is a good match for a caucasian body.

When you're done, Testor's varnish is really good. I give 'em a whack of gloss (it protects better) and once that's dry a coat of matt to remove the shine.
