But as Cross Country said, it won't hurt to email and ask. |

Is there any recommendation for a black paint to match most joes?

Black tends to be easy to match compared to white. I'd say have a thinner on hand. Maybe someone can help? Enamel paints tend to be more durable for toy usage than acrylic. My '82 CC who got his mask repainted in 1994 still looks good to me. No paint slop or unevenness. |

As a general recommendation, you will need to paint some over the already-black areas close to the area you are painting to blend it together.

I painted mine with acrylics in the '90s because I was replacing factory paint and I liked having something to fiddle with on my desk as a teen. They needed to be durable, and paint pens were not commonplace at that point. I still like me some tiny Joe desk scenes, even with my 9-5 as a 42 year old. |

I'd recommend using acrylics, then. There is a better range, they thin with water, and are easier to work with.

GOOD MAN. Yes, try it out on a beater. This is ALWAYS the best as you gain some experience and understanding and sacrifice nothing of value. Best of luck to you!
