In the little figure painting that I've done, acrylic (water-based) paints work best. I've mainly used Testors brand, though there are other good types. Acrylic paints won't react with the soft plastic XD figures (and some vehicle parts) are made from and will dry nicely. Oil-based paints tend to stay sticky when applied to certain types of plastic.

I think, however, that such hobby-related posts need to go in the Sticky: Tricks, Tips, Hints, Cheats, Tools, Whatever!!!! thread at the top of the Reference forum.
