Okay, you experienced plastic painters out there.

I've been using craft store acrylics on my metal minis. Works like a charm--some spray on clear coat sealer and they never flake off again.

Now, I paint on top of these plastic DDM figs and the paint comes off with very little pressure. I haven't been priming them. Is that going to solve this issue?

I also haven't sprayed my sealer on them, I'm going to try that next but I was a little worried about what it would do to the unpainted base.

At any rate, these figs are flexible--it seems that paint is less flexible. How do you get it to stay on??

For that matter, what does the original painting process consist of? You've got to work pretty hard to scrape off the factory original paint job.
