The Energon Pub

Im planning a repaint of cybertron Thundercraker into g2 Hooligan, making a new head for it too.

I would like some advice before i attempt this on how to paint the rubber sections (fins and nose cone.)

I know enamels will never dry on rubber and soft plastic, but i have mainly being using testor and gameworkshop acrylics and was wondering if there were any considerations i should take into account before attempting to paint the rubber areas.

the only thing i ever got to stick on rubber without getting sticky is a black alcohol based marker

So far I've had pretty good luck cleaning PVC parts like that with either rubbing alcohol or enamel thinner, then using acrylic paint as a primer. At that point you should be able to use enamel paint to get your final color.
