Umm... you _are_ priming the figure, aren't you? I've had no problems
painting
resin, plastic, or lead with acrylics as long as I prime them with a
half
decent (though not necessarily expensive) primer. I have never bothered
to
wash them in dish detergent (though I've read often that you should). I
just
trim flash, etc., prime, paint, and the coat with a couple of layers of
matte
coat.
