I plan on using the MinWax dipping method to shade them, and have read how to do this, but I don't know the best way to prime and paint the minis prior to dipping. A link to a full guide, from priming to painting to dipping would be greatly appreciated.Is there a painting kit I can purchase online that contains everything I'd need to prime and paint? If not, I'd appreciate suggestions on paints (kits?) and what primer to use and what color and how to apply it. I assume priming is done from spray cans? I'll be painting about 75 plastic fantasy figs from the Descent boardgame (hard plastic, some red plastic, some tan). I'll be painting them so they look decent, not good/great. I want to paint them semi-quickly (assembly line style) without too much detail.Short list of requests (preferring online vendor links if possible)<ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul"> All-in-one paint kit including everything I need to paint (paints, brushes, ??)</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul"> If no kits are for sale, paint I should buy (matte, gloss, colors, etc..)</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul"> If no kits are for sale, brushes to buy</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul"> MinWax to buy. I think I should be using "Minwax Polyshades polyurethane Tudor satin stain"</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul"> Online painting guides from priming, painting, to dipping.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul"> Anything else you think I'll need</li> </ul>Thanks folks!!</blockquote>
