Onto the plastic bits...

Post by georgiemc »

I have finished sorting all the wee odds and ends out with my wee Betsy and she's running as sweet as a nut.... now I want to give her a new look. Her fishnet stocking look - although quite well done, is a bit too reminiscent of a strip club for my liking!

I have a spray gun at my disposal and may as well as use it as it turns out that cans work out to be pretty dear. I was wondering, after the primer, is it better to use an oil based or a cellulose based paint? - Bearing in mind I have never done this before so it needs to be fairly forgiving material to work with!!

Any suggestions/handy hints or tips would be welcomed with open arms!

(I would love to post a picture on here but I can't figure that out either!)
