I am thinking of JvC, VvV and spytroops. I have already primered them white, so it shouldn't matter how thin the paint is. Anyone know of any that would work?
i have 6 figures, ready for painting.

If they're already primed, just about any should work. I've used Krylon, some Rustoleum, and Liquitex. Krylon seems to be the most reliable in my experience.

If it's already primed, regular should work. But fusion seems to work well even without a primer.

I'd recommend matte when available.

i had a lot of problems with fusion making the soft plastic sticky, when not primed.

I prefer rust-oleum. Most of the colors are paint+primer which I prefer. Also a larger color selection. :-D

i only see enamel paint, in the color range I need, in rustoleum... so i may have to go with krylon.

You know what, I'm totally wrong. I'm thinking of Krylon ColorMaster/CoverMax. I've used fusion on hard plastic for playsets and some vehicles and it worked well, but I think you're right about it going tacky on soft plastic.

ColorMaster/CoverMax has been working very well for me on hard and soft plastic, but it's very dry where I live (not humid) and I spray quick bursts of multiple light coats.

Sorry about the bad advice earlier!

No problem Dan! I ended up getting Rustoleum American Accents "gloss golden sunset", as that is a color match for my project.
