Alright guys and gals I've got a quick question...what kind of paint is used on Neca's action figures? I need to paint some hair on a couple of action figures...I really just need black. Anyway I was talking to some coworkers and asked If i could use the same paint that is used for warhammer figurines...but i don't wanna mess up my figs too much so...thought I should ask first! Thanks in advance.

No idea what paint any company uses, it's usually kept secret. However, I can tell you that you can use acrylic, water based paints on action figures with no problem. Do not use enamel, it will never dry and destroys the figure eventually.

Wal*Mart sells stuff I've used. Apple Barrel, Delta Ceramcoat are the most common.
