I found a way to deal with the sticky figure issue that sometimes comes from spraying plastic figures. There are some plastics that don't react well with black spray paint. (Reaper Bones, for instance) And while cleaning the mold release of the figure will sometimes help (Like with Reaper Bones, as AJ showed in one of his videos) there are some toy plastics that just react poorly to the propellant in the can.
Here's my secret trick. Ready? After the spray has dried, I cover the entire model with Black Craft Paint. That's it. I brush on a coat of the matt black craft paint, which sticks to the already sticky surface. Once it dries you have a non-sticky surface to work with. I haven't tried this with any color other then black.
Hope this is useful.

well once i had finished painting my minis, having them dipped solved the problem. so basically sealing them is a good idea too.

Basically yes, although you have to paint over the sticky surface before you can seal it. The matt black paint leaves the primed figure with a matt black surface, which is supposedly what you wanted when you sprayed it with a matt black spray paint.

Wh even spray it when you paint over it again? :-) I have the same issue, too. But in my case it wasnt spraypainted but only chepa acrylic colors. And I allways prime it with cheap black acrylic paint.
