Two-Dimensional or 2D Dragon Ball figure repaint is a specialized art form in which the look of Dragon Ball characters is enhanced significantly or turned into an altogether new figure. This technique involves adding shadows, highlights and other details to give the figure a more dynamic and lifelike appearance, often mimicking the style of 2D animation seen in the Dragon Ball series.

Our artists utilize acrylic paints for DBZ figures because they are versatile, simple to use and dry quickly. Acrylic paints adhere well to the plastic materials typically used for figures, and they offer a wide range of colors and finishes.

Yes, we can repaint almost all action figures of Dragon Ball, irrespective of the scale of the figure or the material from which it was made. Few of these figures needs a more thorough preparation such as sanding or priming to make sure that the paint to be applied sticks on it in the right manner.

We start by cleaning the original PVC figure to remove dust and oils, then apply a primer to ensure paint adhesion and color accuracy. Painting is done in layers - base colors, shading, highlights, design and details - using both brushes and airbrushing. Finally, we seal the piece with a clear coat to protect the paint and enhance the result.

These custom 2D figure paintings are expensive, because, in order to create this unique effect, considerable skills, time and experience are necessary. Artists must have a deep understanding of color theory, light, and shadow to create the illusion of 2D animation on a regular or 3D model. Each figure is hand-painted, which is a labor-intensive practice taking many hours and days. Plus, high-quality materials and tools are used for the perfect look.
