what kind of paint to use?
« on: January 28, 2012, 11:54:07 AM »
I need some silver paint to repaint the horn and hooves of my Silver Swirl, but don't know what paint to use.
I know a store that sells paint for model-stuff, butt does it damage the plastic that ponies are made of?
I'm thinking about getting this one in silver http://www.netshop.nl/shop/krikkem/contents/nl/d34.html

I want to take Silver Swirl there and ask the people who work there, but I guess they don't know anything about ponies and repainting them...

as long as you use acrylic it should be fine, i know enamel can do funny things to the plastic

I can't order on the internet because I don't have money on my bank account nor on my paypal, so I have to use the money I have in my wallet.
I'll go check some stores then. Does it matter how much pigment it has?
