topppher Posted July 1, 2005 Report Share Posted July 1, 2005 I really cheat on the eye paint... I use a paint marker. You can get them at menards, or your local craft mega store. You can even get them off of ebay. It is enamel paint, so as long as you cure it at about 150 deg for a couple of min. it will stay really well. You can also use fingernail polish, or get some laquer from Jann's, tacklecraft, etc... make sure that you cure the laquer too, about the same cycle... after curing you should not be able to scratch it off with your fingernail. If you let it dry on it's own, you can. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nerdy Posted July 5, 2005 Report Share Posted July 5, 2005 another way to cheat for easy patterns is to use a sharpie. i paint heads white, then draw eyes, gills, and various fishy looking bars on the head, then clear coat powder paint over it. theres a large amount of sharpie colors so selection is pretty good.
