I decided to share this as i know it will be useful info to many of us that customize our figs.
In working on my custom Hellboy i decided to use the KP Heroik XXL body as a base body. The problem? it has a rubber muscle torso that i would have to paint red and all customizers know, paint and rubber do not always mix well.
I did some research and tried RIT dye, acrylic paint, and the rustoleum plastic paint. All did not work. After a few days i found a paint that dries over the rubber body without a problem. The paint is: Duplicolor Vinyl & Fabric spray paint: https://www.duplicolor.com/products/vinylFabricCoating/ It comes in various colors. If you want a matt finish, just spray over it with Testors dullcoat. Hope the info helps
