Question: Do any of you customize, or do you just collect? I bought a grab bag of heads from Starwargeek (beautiful work, fast shipping, by the way), and I want to try my hand at painting them up. I've read threads about paints, and what I've got out of that is that Citadel, Testors Model Master, and Tamiya(?) are all quality paints as long as they're thinned, thin coats are made and allowed to dry before the next layer, and the figure has been thoroughly washed in hot water with soap to get rid of the casting extrusions or something like that.
So my problem is that I don't know what I want, and that makes me reluctant to order online. I've checked the websites for Michael's, Hobby Lobby, and JoAnn Fabrics to try to find any of those brands in a store where I can go check them out, but if my results are accurate, none of them are carrying those paints. My question is this: if you are customizing/painting in Utah, what are you using and where are you getting it?
Since this has to do with sighting in Utah, it's not spam, right? Any direction would be appreciated.

I use testors, you can find it as hobby lobby, Roberts and Joann's (but not at smaller branches. I've also seen them at some walmarts. The problem I have with them is the colors stores sell are for cars, so they are shiny and don't always look right on figures
