So ffor your full repaint you still use Acrylic? Because my re-paint of sparkler went downhill, the paint is al lumpy/streaky..the brush left textures, im not sure what I did wrong. Its a little frustraiting....would you suggest drybrushing the layers on? Im not sure what to do about my sticky pony, I might try paint over the sticky with Acrylic, and hopefuly it wont raise the bottom layer...the pearlized gloss did look nice though. I think ive lost my smaller brushes, so I might invest in getting replacements, as im supposed to paint models with my partner too. lol

No, like I said, I never do full body repaints. My one attempt put me off. The pony sealed sticky and I never tried to fix it, just scrapped it. If you want advice on full body re-paints I suggest you look at [link] and ask around. Small brushes are must however for symbol painting and definately worth the investment.

I hope you don't mind my saying this, but I thought I'd mention that I heard about Testers dullcoat spray sealer from Popgirl. I have been using it on my airbrushed customs to seal them and have been totally happy with it. No stickiness at all unlike most spray sealers I've tried. I highly recommend it

So you work on white bodies? I found a website that showed how to dye the pony..then I had a bad dream I fell into a boiling dye pan with a big brother and got dyed XD
Thankyou for the link :)

for full body repaints you have to water down the paint a lot and do many layers...or you can use make-up sponges...and the delta ceramcoat matte finish is apparently the only good spray on sealer out there...and small brushes and micro brushes are the way to go.
