I've yet to hear/read of or see an entire PHICEN body being repainted.

You may be better off utilizing a non-seamless/normal/regular 1:6 female body that you can properly prime and possibly disassembled to an extent to allow proper painting.

I agree. I recommend Triad Alpha. The entire thing can be disassembled easily.

Paint wont work. You might be able to dye it.

Nowbody knows the material?

Sad to hear that even Latex-Paint doesn´t stick reliable. No more seamless-bodies...but...i like them. :wail

the bodies are silion based. I have yet to find anything that stick work a damn. I'm tempted to try some of the solvent based inks I use at work.

Silicon before it drys can be thinned/ reduced with isopropanol. And, some of the dyesub inks I run are thinned with isopropanol.

... I just keep forgetting to take some home to try out

The new, latest ones are silicone-based, but all the older revs feel more like rubber to me. Are you sure those revs are also silicone based? There is a coating on the ones that came from Phicen (vs. the earliest ones that came from Tiger Brother) for the "tack free" skin, so maybe that's the problem with getting paint to stick.

I have one of the first ones out, she broke right away at the hip and shoulder... So I skinned her. I'll use that skin to test on.
