incredible..
and i couldnt fathom using a spray paint on such a small thing. like others, use acrylic testors model masters flat, and get some nice brushes. for brushes, the more money one cost the better the preformance.. |

I bet you're using enamel paint or some kind of oil based paint. Switch to acrylic modeling paint. That will fully dry on the limbs of these ME figures b/c the limbs use a softer plastic that has a reaction to oil based paints. Oil/enamel based modeling paint will never fully dry on the softer plastic.
If you did use enamel, best bet is to take rag, dip it in thinner, remove the oil paint and start over with acrylic paint. I painted the purple grey like in the artwork and it is probably still sticky as fk today due to the enamel paint...it was a nightmare |

Thanks! He looks awesome. If I had the painting skills, I'd copy the design.

I actually cut small pieces of the blue painter's tape and applied to areas that I did not want to get paint on. It did take some time and patience.

I used Krylon spray paint for plastic. I've used other colors on figures and it dried really well. Even the black on his sleeves and boots and the red on his hood is holding really well. It's just the white that's coming off on my fingers.
I'll look for what you are talking at Hobby Lobby.
