    Does anyone know what kind of plastic Botbots are made of? I currently have a Burgertron soaking in rubbing alcohol right now (after multiple painting disasters), and am wondering what primer and paints to use on him. Any advice and help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

    I haven't handled any botbots yet. Are they a softer or harder plastic? If the plastic is more rubbery, I believe you can put a thin layer of superglue on the rubbery bits to help paint adhere better. I'd start with standard figure prep first, then the superglue sealer, then paint away.
