I was wondering what is the best paint to use to repaint the flytech moth or butterfly.  i would like to change the color of the yellow butterfly to black?  If anyone knows any good paint please let me know

I wouldn't use "paint". It would add significant weight, and have trouble sticking to the flexible wings and interacting with the foam.

I have used a Sharpie permanent ink marker to touch up scuffs on my DragonFly's foam body. I seem to recall other people used similar markers to tint the clear wings.

I recall someone (don't recall who) used a mild solvent and used that to dissolve the paint on their original dragonfly wings. If you search the forums, you should find the thread I am thinking of, along with one or two others on the subject.

I used Crayon Markers on my DragonFly's wings. Using the yellow to start off with and it removed the paint on the wings. I then drew over that with the design I wanted.

For the body, once you have flown it some, the paint will start to chip and peel. Once this happens you can easy peel off the old paint.
