If you're alright with cheap, acrylic handbrushing, I've found a mix of three FolkArt colors (2720 Purple, 493 Bright Red, and 656 Blue Sapphire) makes a deep, metallic shade of purple. I thin it with some Pledge floor polish and clearcoat after. By playing with the mix you can probably match devastator's color. On the enamel side, Model Master Pearl Purple may be a good fit but I can't guarantee it.

I've never used nail polish, but I tend to use super glue. You just put a few drops on the ball and either spread it a round a little bit or let it just start to set and then put the limb on and just keep moving the joint for a minute or two so the glue is drying out but not able to adhere to the surface. It creates enough friction that the joint should be tighter but..obviously there is some risk invovled.

This onbe'S definitely NOT. You can try and open an ongoing general customs thread - I've been looking for that for a while now in here - but most people just do their own collection threads. Doesn't mean you have to follow the crowd

Good enough place as any to ask.
Latebrus-K, keep them here under the Transtopia sub-forums, you can create a thread per creation or just have one mega-thread and share them all there, that's your call, that way you can get them featured in the monthly Transtopia round-ups (unless you specifically tell us not to feature them).

It depends on if you are going to seal the applied paint by clear coating it. If so you can use paint and a brush but the result won't be smooth. If you use a marker it will most likely be one that will have an oily sheen on its paint and this type of paint might stay sticky and gooey. So you might leave fingerprints on it if you touch it and therefore the paint will get dull. I'd suggest using a Gundam Marker OR seal the paint.
Only hand paint available that i have is called "Air Paint". Importing clear coats and other online things is next to impossible due to covid-19 in my country.
