The Apple Barrel and Folk Art from Michaels work great on the Miggle men too. I just switched to these acrylics vs the old school enamels I grew up using. Reg is right you can not beat the price and if you have never seen the color selection, just walk into Michael's Craft store and brace yourself, for you have never seen so many color options. They apply great and clean up is a breeze, it's a no-brainer for me.

Default Thanks

Thanks for all the input.

Can I use a sealer on the paint ?

Will the sealer do anything to the plastic?

What about the ttqb plastic that is different then the playing figures? I just don't want to weaken these guys when I apply paint or sealer.

Default Two Sealers to Use

Coach,

I first apply Testors 1241 to the painted figure. That comes in a spray form. Then I apply Modge Poge. I apply the flat kind to skin tones and the gloss Modge Podge to the uniforms. It gives that giure a nice contrast between skin and shirt.
