Does anybody know of the type of paint you need to customise Action Figures. Only I had an attempt at making a giant Apocalypse figure and tried to use the same paints that I use for Miniature customisation.

Only the paint tends to fade really quickly leaving it looking like it's been dipped in pen ink.

A friend of mine has this advice: Lay down an Acryllic basecoat, then use oils over that, then spray "Dull coat" over the finished to preserve the colors... and also you can use "Future" floor wax on the eyes to add sparkle for the eyes.

Here's a good site for a guy who customizes 1/6 scale army action figures:
