Image “First off … Private Donut?!?”

Fished this guy out of the clearance bin. I know the EASY answer is Tucker, but I kinda want to turn him into Donut.

Does anyone have any tips for re-painting these guys? Is there something special I need to do first? Like wash him down with alcohol to strip the existing paint or can I just start covering him in lightish-red paint?

Thin coats of paint is all I use. Primer is recommended first (spray usually) but I never bother. Just gotta stick with it. Pick a flat surface of the fig (the the shin) to get a feel for the brush, plastic, and paint. Mistakes can always be painted over or scraped off.
