Cause I can't imagine trying to cover every single one of hers :pAs tedious as it is I would recommend covering them all! May I ask how you do it? I mean, how is there any part of the pony left to sunfade :p

What kind of tape did you use?
Also, when it comes to covering up symbols and eyes, I highly recommend using Blu-Tack (prefferably the original produced by Bostik). For those of you who don't know what that is: Blu-Tack is a putty-like adhesive that's typically used to stick light-weight objects to dry surfaces (paper, posters etc.) and also as an artistic eraser.The pony batch I've sunfaded earlier all had their eyes and symbols covered using Blue-Tack and it worked fantastic. Not only does it cover everything perfectly, but it also gets off easily without damaging the paint on pony's eyes and symbol (that even goes for ponies with glitter symbol). Also, it can be easily washed off, so there's no need to be afraid if there are some tiny specs left on the surface of the pony.Another wonderful thing about Blu-Tack is that it can be kneaded into smaller bits, it works wonderful for covering up TAF symbols more precisely (just prepare yourselves to spend an hour doing so ). EDIT: Sorry for this spam-ish post: just figured I could share something useful with the community. ^^'
I think paint tape is very good, (it's the paper kind you mean right?) The black tape is probably isolation tape used for electricity and stuff. I'll have to experiment a bit, have 2 yumyums in my trade box, let's see if they have any marks
My boyfriend is very wary to use those, especially when it's already a bit old, then it leaves blue marks. It did so on the walls of his previous apartment.
