|  What paint and glue to use?
I got a DeadBolt for Christmas and don't want to screw up the drivers heads, Axial says molded plastic what paints and glues are safe to use on this material? I thought I would ask before doing anything, might prevent me from melting or deforming the heads. Thanks for your help!

You can use model glue and model paint....  Acrylic paint also works....... |

Shoe goo will not hurt it at all I know that.

some model glues bond by melting the plastic together, might want to watch out for that. | |

Thanks for the help everyone I was looking at my wife's nail polish before we headed out for Christmas visiting, I painted bits of the parts tree before we left I will see what they look like when I get home. Thanks!

So I decided to go old School with the open face skull and went with a metallic purple nail polish and silver for the MotoX helmet. Lots more work yet but I think they will turn out good!   |

Like others have said Shoe Goo works good and can reinforce the body if you thin it out a little and swirl it around inside the body in high risk areas, if I remember correctly. I have used Tamiya paints without issue before as well.
