Critter Commandos miniatures are made of pewter, and are intended to be painted. We suggest a base coat of flat white Krylon® spray paint. Then use any kind of acrylic paints (Reaper Miniatures makes a great line!) to paint the figures. Be sure to coat the figure when you are done with a good coat of Krylon® Gloss Coat. Want to show off your painted miniatures, then send us a photo.
