Re: Customizing
Well in my picture on my profile, I spray painted the entire pop but put tape over the belt because I wanted to keep it gold. I used a primer spray paint and left it for a day. Then used a flat white spray paint and left it for a day. Took off the tape and painted around the belt with white acrylic paint and used a very fine point paint brush. This may sound weird, but I then used a toothpick for the batman logo and eyes because the first time I used a paint brush (this was also my first custom) I went onto the white with the black and had to redo the primer and spray paint. The toothpick was an awesome idea. So much precision and it doesn't bend like brush bristles. Also, the paint is able to go on nice and light rather than having heavy brush strokes. And that's about all I have to say about customizing. I'm new to it so this is basically what I learned in my first custom. Hope this helps!

Re: Customizing
Hahaha I used a toothpick for detail too works really well. I actually like using model paint cause it is a little more watery and less prone to brush strokes. I haven't done many customs but have had some exPerience with paints

Haha what a coincidence. But I used the acrylic paint and oh! I forgot. I used like 3 drops of water in the acrylic paint about the size of a quarter and it helps a lot. Thins the paint to a consistency that makes is great for nice even layers of paint. Good luck!
