Title: Translucent Custom Question?
Post by: Leave a Whisper on February 04, 2016, 05:40:41 AM
Can you paint over a translucent pony with stained glass paint? My daughter wants to customize her extra Merry May. Thanks.

I would certainly think it's possible!  I've done a translucent custom before using Pearl Ex Pigments, so any sort of paint or material that isn't opaque should be fine.  It's important to try to stay in the same color group when you're trying to preserve transparency and not look like a "mud mixer" (to quote Bob Ross), so since Merry May is green, I would use either yellow, green, or blue stained glass paint.

Thank you. I'll let her know.

I've seen it done with breyers

Edit: that also gives me an idea... but it would require one of those G4 water cuties

You can also use Mod Podge Sheer Colors.

We'll look for those if this doesn't work out.
