From my experience and what I've picked up from other customizers I can offer a couple of pointers:

-Testors brand is ok, but avoid the standard Testors model paints. The are eneamel paints and do not dry properly on many action figures due to the type of plastic.

-If you must use enamels, prime the figure first. I've done this before and had good results.

-If you want to change the finish on a figure (reduce the glossiness) you can use a product called dullcote. It is available in both spray and brush on versions and works very well.
