For those of you that do custom paint jobs, I'm wondering what kind of paint to use? I'd like something durable. Specifically, I'm looking to paint wood parts and add some wear on the metal of some Marauder Inc. weapons.

Humbrol and Revell semi-matt enamels. Tougher than acrylics, but mineral turpentine or white spirits clean up. I have constantly used figures I painted more than twenty years ago and the paint hasn't chipped yet.

I mostly use enamel and acrylics, from Model Master and Revell (the best). But you've to nave in mind customs that you play with will have some chipped marks.

Look at my Marauderincs and Hasbro weapons: all painted with Tamiya colors.
But the plastic of Hasbro's weapons isn't good to be painted.
