SPC figures - painting advice needed!

[LadyFlame]

Hi guys, I'm looking for a bit of advice!  A few years ago I bought two SPC figures and I'd like to colour them.  I was told at the time that I needed to buy a certain type of base paint to start the process with but I can't find the thread, so I don't remember what it was.  My plan is to put on the base coat, colour them with permanent markers or something similar, then varnish them to protect the colour.  Any ideas?

Hi guys, hoping someone can help!  I want to paint two SPC figures I bought a number of years ago (please see the attached photo) and when I asked about it at the time, I was told that I needed a special base coat to start off with.  My plan is to apply the base coat to the figures, colour them with permanent markers and then varnish them.  Anyone got any advice or ideas?  Thanks very much!  P.S.  Sorry about posting this thread twice, it keeps saying there's an error when there apparently isn't.

While I don't have any advice for the painting, I will say that those figures look really cool.

P.S. I will say that the "error" message is just annoying, but it doesn't mean anything as whenever I get it, I go look at it and my message is there and my message count does go up.

I merged this with the duplicate topic, just FYI. Sorry I don't have any painting advice for you either, but if you've figured it out by now (seeing as this thread is now two years old) it would be cool to see pics of the newly painted figures.
