Most paints will flake off no matter what. I found the best way to prevent paint rub/wear is to lacquer each part individually after painting and before assembling the figure back together. IMO armory makes the best matte lacquer for customizing. A few coats if that and you should be good to go. I use it for all my customs and the playability is excellent.

I use acrylic Model Masters it's pretty much unable to be rubbed off with enough drying time.
But any paint that is scraping against a surface tightly will scratch. |
