Would acrylic paint pens work for painting beys.
Painting Pens?
Yes but they’d come off really easy because acrylic is a water based paint, if you want to paint your beys then I’d say use sharpie’s oil based paint markers, but then you can’t use them in any official or wbo tournaments.
What about 'Gundam model' paint pens? As far as I'm aware they are an oil/water (can't remember if it's oil or water) based paint.
Gundam pens are the standard marker/paint most use to paint their beys.
Painting beys isn't illegal, there are restrictions on where you can paint, but it is allowed

Under the current rules, custom painted blades are generally allowed provided they do not affect performance. Painted blades can be banned under an optional rule.
Soon, this rule will be changed to forbid fully custom painted blades by default, except for small markings in non-contact areas (e.g. launcher hooks). This is consistent with the official B4 rules. A new optional rule will be added for organizers who wish to allow fully painted blades, and can commit to inspecting them for performance issues.
Why are we changing this?
Our current rules forbid paint applications that would affect performance. However, actually enforcing this is difficult — the texture of the paint and the quality of the application can both affect performance, and we've seen many examples of painted parts people brought to tournaments that should not have been accepted.
We've also heard an increasing amount of feedback about custom paint jobs leaving marks on stadiums and other Beys. While even officially coated parts can leave marks in stadiums, the way they do so is consistent, predictable, and generally easy to clean. With custom paint, there is basically an infinite number of potential paints and applications that can affect this differently.
Ultimately, the volume of feedback we'd heard from both organizers and bladers convinced us that this was the best way forward.
- This rule change should go live in early November, when the new version of our Beyblade X rulebook is released. The current rule does not change until the new rulebook is released.
- Organizers who wish to allow the use of painted blades, and can commit to inspecting them thoroughly for performance, will be able to allow painted blades through a new optional rule.

Sooo...I don't know how to say this but ...it's only available soon if the organizer's allow it. That's my takeaway
I hadn't seen that announcement, thanks for sharing it.
As it stands though, the current rules state it is allowed, though you're right its going to be changing (or it's been changed? I'm not entirely sure)
