Learn from my mistake!!
« on: May 15, 2016, 06:00:30 PM »
What I learned today is to not use oxiclean near a princess jewel symbol.  It took off the metallic paint from Princess Tiffany's symbol!  Agh! >_<

Any suggestions for a good silver metallic paint so I can repaint it?

Silver nail polish sounds like a perfect replacement paint!
Thanks to calico star for my avatar!

I'm so sorry that happened but thank you for telling us! I was about to try it for the first time on a dirty Princess Serena I found at the thrift store.

This is why I avoid Oxy.
I've yet to find anything perfect to replicate the paint. Even metallic paint isn't same (not as shiny). What about thin metallic sheets. What they're called is escaping me...

I'm thinking that's the stuff. :o)  It's definitely more metallic and original looking than paint.

My cousin knows your pain she put Princess Sparkle into an oxi clean bath and when she took her out she noticed it was gone she panicked then she decided to repaint it the best she could.
