To quote Kat and Crewella from a while back in another topic (this was all about painting in general, but should be true for touch-ups as well as major repainting):

You want to use latex mask paints mixed with water based acrylic paint or ink.  The mix should be about 60-70% latex paint to 30-40% acrylic.  That seems to work best.  There are a few threads about painting pleos as a few of us have had a go at it here :)  Just do a search in the search box and you should find some interesting stuff :)

This was a good thread on painting Pleos:
