Something I've been ruminating on recently… You don't have to be good to paint your toys. You just have to knuckle down and do it. There are lots of shortcuts you can take along the way. Here are a few. link |

Skip the "prime in black", step, if using The Dip -- The Dip takes the place of black priming, by darkening the recesses and inner folds. If you need to prime, then do whatever is quickest: spray paint gray, or white, depending on finished color brightness needed. If painting plastic figures, do not prime at all! Paint acrylic paints directly on the washed plastic surfaces, only painting the bits which vary from the color of the plastic. When you seal the paint with The Dip, your paint will be sealed into the urethane skin covering the figure, never to move, apart from the urethane skin, itself. Been doing this for 20+ years, no issues. Cheers! |
