    Default My first time painting eyes on!

    Have any of you guys ever use Gloss acrylic paint? Can you apply hard as nail over it for stronger eyes?

    Use I use to do that a lot, but you can not use Sally's over a head that is FL Chart or FL Yellow as it will change the color to an ugly crud color. I used clear vinyl over these colors! You can use it over all your colors, but it dries slower than Sally's!

    here is one of my older ties that I painted like that!

    I noticed that when I used sally on some I did that you had 1 stroke to get it covered and if you hit it again it would smear the softened paint. Heavy and fast and catch the drips if there is any and i was good to go. even with the eyes. I used Testors model paint for my eyes.
    Creativity is just intelligence fooling around
