figure painting!

hi! im kinda bored and what-not, and lets be honest. the original turtle figures are fun and what not, but they look pretty crappy, especially the weapons. i was thinking of painting some to make them look better, and as kinda a hobby to spend some time before i have tons and tons of projects due.

does anyone know what kinda paint i should get? any tips? i think acrylic paint is the kinda that'll stick to these guys maybe? any good online stores with cheap stuffs?

also, anyone recommend some color schemes or what not? the main thing on the turtles im looking to paint is the god-awful orange/brown weapons hehe. what colors do you think i should use for the handles? im going to get some metallic paint for the blades and what-not.

also, shredder looks horrible. check out this http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...category=16474

this looks like a good scheme for shredder. tips on what you think i should paint what color would be appreciated, or pictures of some you've done/seen yourself!
