I then paint with acrylic craft paint. Those 4" high bottles like ceramcoat, americana, etc.The real trick though is to give them a 2-3 finish coats of clear acrylic matte finish. I've discovered the "bluckies" get soft in the sun and the paint can easily flake off. The final clear coats prevent this. Hope helps.Dave Lowehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06697644776554772725noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14250813.post-71235881048991567172008-10-13T18:13:00.000-07:002008-10-13T18:13:00.000-07:00I've been following your blog for a couple months ...I've been following your blog for a couple months now and find it really inspiring. Are you using acrylics on your zombies? I remember painting some 'bluckies' I had years ago and I always seemed to get some glow-in-the-dark paint showing through. Kind of ruined the effect...unless you like the radioactive look.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
