so my mother thought she was being helpful by buying me a new paint set.... and she got me enamels! the colors are beautiful! but... thick and awful. is there anyway I can dilute these and use them? I hate to have them sit and go to waste!
I tried testors enamels and they can be diluted with testors thinner, and can be applied to plastics but it will never dry unless you let the figure rest for about 24 hours after painting. Make sure to put the figure in a sealable container to avoid dust sticking to the paint and then apply 1-2 coats of testors Dull-cote.
Guys, she said her mom bought them, she knows the enamel won't stick to the plastic. JUMPING JESUS ON A POGO STICK! lol. Anyway, to remove the enamel I would try washing it off, then sanded it then priming it again. See if that works. Sounds like it might.
yes ma'am. I have painted with enamel before. Stained the brush. I hand washed it and it took like ten minutes to get everything out. And I had to rewash my hands for 10 minutes as well
yeah... I noticed it looked fine on the as...
next complaint I would mention there is... after using brush cleaner on an old tshirt and some warm water... my brush was still disgusting and paint stained.
I have no luck with paint!
I have no interest in those whatsoever... again... all the little bottles look the same to my mother! lol. I don't blame her, they sit on the same shelf and all. sigh.
Ew... as far as I know, enamels are completely worthless to customizers. Unless someone else has heard differently, I think you may have to abandon them.

They have a habit of making plastic sticky.
Best not to use em.
Plus, folks have told me that the enamel melts/warps certain plastics.
