What brand of Acrylic paint should I use?

There are many different brands out there, and it really comes down to personal preference as to which one to use. The major brands mentioned by other customizers are:

  • Apple Barrel - These paints come in a wide variety of colors and are fairly inexpensive in most stores. They tend to be more watery, allowing a smoother coat of paint to be applied. However, it also tends to require more than one coat to cover the color of the Stikfas plastic.
  • Delta Ceramcoat - These paints are slightly more expensive and usually come in sets of eight colors. Delta paints are thicker than Apple Barrel paints. They sometimes require added water to make them smooth enough to apply without leaving brush strokes, but they tend to cover with just one coat.
  • Plaid - I haven't used these myself, so I'm not sure of the consistency, but they are used by several of the SCG members without issue.
