To paint paper mache, acrylic paint is an excellent choice due to its quick drying time, vibrant colors, and ease of use. It's water-based, making it easy to clean up, and adheres well to the porous surface of paper mache. For a glossy finish, you can seal it with a clear acrylic varnish once the paint is dry. Avoid oil-based paints, as they can be too heavy and may not adhere properly.
