THEBRITFARMER Posted January 15, 2007 Share Posted January 15, 2007 Option 1: Give the areas a little sand first, then paint with pva glue and then paint with acrylics, then another coat of pva. Will give them a slight sheen like animals should have You may find that the acrylics may not stick to some of the newer glossier paints. In that case you will need to use a primer (I would get an all purpose one for use on oil or acrylic) Then paint as above. Hope that helps. Option 2: Send them to me. And never see them again :D :D :D :D :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JC Posted January 16, 2007 Share Posted January 16, 2007 Try any airfix or revell model paints Mark, various shades and colours available in matt finish, ..... you don't want them all to look the same do you?? I'll have a look at home and see if I have any part tins I don't need anymore, you can have them if I have, although I think they are all gloss. \ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
THEBRITFARMER Posted January 16, 2007 Share Posted January 16, 2007 A tip I learned if us gloss paint...add a little talcum powder to the paint and it will dull it for you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
