Hi guys 🙂 ive been camping in this forum for a long time now and i finally decided to make an account 😃

ok moving on, as mentioned in the title, this is my first time trying to paint a yoyo and i read many threads on teaching how to paint a yoyo but none of them mention the type of paint used.

can someone recommend the types of paint that can be used to paint a metal yoyo? or rather the most commonly used ones 😃

For a metal yo-yo most people use an enamel paint.
