Buying Guide

- Opacity and sheen: Markers offer detail; acrylic paints provide larger coverage and may need sealing for wash durability.
- Durability: Look for non-toxic formulations and consider heat-setting or sealing to improve wash resistance.
- Application method: Markers for detail work; bottle-based paints for broad areas; multi-tip markers for versatility.
