What kind of paint is used in custom??

I mostly use Humbrol enamels, look for them in hobby stores.

It's a acrilyc paint?

I use small cans of spray paint (Testors Enamel Paint) for when I want to recolor something (see my Turbine kitbash). For details I sometimes use paint pens or small bottles of paint. Really anything meant for use with plastics. Don't buy anything that says it's for porous surfaces (like wood)

spray paint I use testors spray enamel. small bottles of paint I use testors acrylics.

 

Enamel is tougher/more durable, but harder to clean up. Acrylic is thinner and gives you a smoother finish but easily chips.

I use Citadel Water based Acrylics. And I use white spray primer on pieces before I paint them. The colors go on smooth and the white underneath gives a some solid, vibrant color with less coats.

 

most hobby stores have them, or you can try here:

I've never ordered online though so you're on your own there.

Los esmaltes modelo de Master's trabajan grande para mí.

This primer stuff you guys speak of...it helps the paint stick to the toy better? I had butt-loads of fun trying to do my Armada Scourge repaint...took me like 4 coats, and some of the red still shows through if you look close enough >_

Yeah Frapp, the primer is made to allow paint to adhere to it, and if comes in different colors, usually black, white and shades of grey- Grey is usually Automotive Primer- I think its alittle heavier then modeling primer (I use Citadel White modeling primer) because it meant to handle automotive spray paint. The black primer will give you a less vibrant tone on your colors, and generally a bit darker. Its still possible to get chips though, its not an indestructable bond. But it will adhere better and easier so you need less coats.
