Some other hacks for painting figures are, if you want to paint in creases, sand the area down first so the paint sticks, and if you know exactly what you're doing add glue into the paint as if you were mixing colors 'til you can't see the glue, your paint color will stay the same but will more likely stay on your figures.
Oh man, this made me wince. This video is old so I'll address this to anyone who sees this video later, use masking tape. Cover up the parts you don't want paint on before you start painting. It looks like maybe those arms and head could be removed, I would remove them from the figure too not only to remove any chance of getting paint on them, but also so you don't have to paint around them you get a clear shot at the sides. Oh and if you're just starting off painting, don't buy citadel paint. I don't know if it's ever worth buying, but get the cheapest stuff you can find and practice with that.
Man I've been watching videos trying to figure it out. Some say acrylic can be sticky on plastic figures. I've got a used Hottoys body that has the paint messed up rubbed off around the neck from turning the headsculpt too much I guess. I want to fix it. Do you know what kind of flesh paint to use on the neck of a Hottoys figure. It's Superman so the neck is all you really see besides the hands. Let me know if you don't mind. Thank you.
+hobo “realmudderducker177” bum Everyone wants me to make Braun! I don't think I will because he is so tall and bulky. I don't think any current mold fits him. Maybe bray head + diesel/kevin nash? but he has more bulk than nash. My skills sculpting are extremely rudimentary and I wouldn't want to ruin figures and make a subpar Strowman.
+Tommy's Toy Travels!! Yeah that's true I was thinking about using my elite 36 bray Wyatt head and using my old elite Vladimir Kozlov body but sculpting the pants would be too difficult
Tommy's Toy Travels!! what about the oil coating on the figures? everytime i repaint the glossy part of the figures, they just dont stick to the figure, any suggestion? thanks man!
Apple Barrel is one of those 'you get what you pay for'. Easier doesn't always mean better - sure it might not require layers but if my research is correct, apple Barrel paint is made for wood and will not last as long on plastic as paints made for plastic.
+Cmc gags They haven't released a black one yet. It's been 5 months since this has been posted. I don't think waiting was the smart thing. I like to paint.

Omg I keep falling asleep so relaxing 😌
I love it when painting videos feel like asmr
1:27-1:44
Wise words.

Is there any kind of paint you would recommend?
Use blue painters tape it has less tack than masking tape
Robo Thunder u could use 99 cent apple barrel paint u can find it pretty much any where Walmart micheals Amazon
When detailing, do you ever use paint tape for edges so you don't go over the lines? Seems like it would save a lot of time and be much safer.
This was a relaxing video. Are you Bob Ross' son?
Thank u this helped so much I've been trying to make a custom figure for 2 years I always just used sharpie marker but now I know
That redtista is awesome!! I make custom figures with my son all the time👍🏻
*Batista
Rudy Leal no redtista is stupid bluetista although annoying works but redtista doesn't
Rudy Leal go on FUk urself
For painting the figures do you also have to sand them down?
Tommys toy.Does that paint last or does it come out quickly or what.Ure design looks magical👍👌👌
Use some spray paint like flat clear to avoid such thing.
Hey tommy do u think I should swap heads with a basic dean and a elite Luke Harper so I have a elite dean Ambrose
Do I have to sand the toy or apply primer before painting it?

What paint should i use to paint a knee guard accessory? Can i spray paint it? Thank you!
Hi tommy, what citadel red did u use for the Batista? Keep up the good work!
How would you go around painting hand wraps on a figure?
I love painting markers
I have a really simple project. Painting the color in the eyes all white.
So I play with my toys roughly and if I put it on my toys will it still come of or no

that dean ambrose is so simple. I'm definitely hoping for redtista tomorrow. It's a dream fig!
+OG_ iphone uncreative nod you're an idiot, that's grim's name
Do you sand your figures before painting
I like how you can be serious and funny at the same time
Tommy was that your air conditioner in the background noise?
+JerryPlayzGames refrigerator
Do you have to mix water with the paint?
Hey tommy have you ever thought of taking one of the wonky bray Wyatt heads and build off of that to make a custom Braun stroman?
+hobo “realmudderducker177” bum Everyone wants me to make Braun! I don't think I will because he is so tall and bulky. I don't think any current mold fits him.

+Tommy's Toy Travels!! Yeah that's true I was thinking about using my elite 36 bray Wyatt head and using my old elite Vladimir Kozlov body but sculpting the pants would be too difficult
yeah, he's def a challenging guy to customize
ok
+KILLSWITCH ACTIVATION tommy always replies, not a surprise
Is citadel a strong enough paint to wear if the clashed it wouldent scratch of easily
They*

cool

That Batista is spot on!
I use model color and comes off the figure. I really want to find permanent paint
Hey is acrylic paint long lasting?

+Matthew Davis Pretty sure I got a set from Amazon
Where do u get the paint
Can I use regular paint
what to use for a glossy finish?
glossy paint
Tommy's Toy Travels!! i found a water base kind for air brushing
do we need to clean the figure first?
+Baskoro Juwono I don't but if they are absolutely dirty then yes, you should clean your figure.
Tommy's Toy Travels!! what about the oil coating on the figures? everytime i repaint the glossy part of the figures, they just dont stick to the figure, any suggestion? thanks man!
Keep applying. Takes a while but it will take it after a few coats.
Tommy's Toy Travels!! okey, so more glossy more coats, i thought i need to clean it with alcohol or something , thanks!
What paint u use
that should have been a asmr video because it's so peaceful
You should use apple barrel because it's cheap and you don't have to add like 80 layers on the figure
Apple Barrel is one of those 'you get what you pay for'. Easier doesn't always mean better - sure it might not require layers but if my research is correct, apple Barrel paint is made for wood and will not last as long on plastic as paints made for plastic.
You did pretty good,I like how you put music in the BG🙃
