How to Customize Bakugan

Bakugan toys allow players to participate in duels featuring a combination of trading card and basic throwing mechanics. Players throw their spherical Bakugan toys onto magnetized gate cards in an attempt to get them to trigger the magnets inside the toy and cause the device to open. Once opened, the cards packaged with the card explain their powers and special abilities. Many players customize their Bakugan toys for an impressive look that sets them apart from copies of the same toy.

Things You'll Need

Acrylic paints
Paintbrushes
Adhesive decals
Matte clear coat sealant spray

Instructions

- 1
  Open your Bakugan toy by placing it on a gate card or pressing the logo on the underside of the sphere.
- 2
  Paint new designs or logos on the opened form of the toy. Use even brush strokes and apply multiple coats to overcome the original coloration, if necessary.
- 3
  Allow the Bakugan to dry thoroughly. Acrylic paints adhere well to the plastics used for Bakugan, but the paint will bleed and run if not completely dried prior to use.
- 4
  Add small adhesive decals from other toys to your Bakugan. Stickers made for miniature cars, robots and other toys work very well for customizing Bakugan.
- 5
  Spray your Bakugan with a single coat of matte, clear-coat sealant. This prevents the stickers from peeling or the paint from fading due to regular play.
- 6
  Close your Bakugan once the sealant completely dries. Wet sealant will lock a Bakugan in the spherical form if you close the toy too soon.
