Painting joints.

Painting joints.

Custom WorkstationHi everyone. I’ve been doing a bunch of repaints and I’m pretty happy with my paint jobs but every figure seems to have one or two joints where the paint rubs off. Not sure if a coat of sealant would help or if the joint would just rub that off too. 😢😥 Any input would be appreciated.

Please wait...

Myself I try to use joints that match the paint I'm using when possible. If that's not an option then you'll have to put some prep into it.
Definitely check out the tutorials for more details, but in essence what you'll be doing is grinding down the joints so they don't rub when moving them, painting them, and then applying superglue over that to protect the paint. Whatever superglue you use though, test it out first on the paint. Some brands like KrazyGlue actually melt/dissolve acrylic paint, so figure that out first. Gorialla glue is extremely resilient, but difficult to use, since if you apply even a little too much it will foam up. I recommend a different brand, one that dries clear without foaming.
