Re: DULLCOTE ISSUE

Thanks everyone....I think it was definitely an issue of not having shaken the can enough...I didn't strip it but I did re-prime it and will try again...did try the dull cote on another piece after shaking REALLY well and there were no issues.

DULLCOTE ISSUE

Hi:

Don't know if anyone's ever run into this before. I primed and painted something...let the paint dry overnight between. Then I sprayed with Dullcote which, when it dried TURNED WHITE.

Anyone ever run into this problem before?

Hi:

My son is looking to paint a Batman bust in a sort of gray scale/b&w coloring. I've never really done anything in B&W...any tips?

Black & Blue Bruising?

Anyone have any tips on doing black and blue bruises? I'm working on a Batman piece and wanted to give him a b&b bruise on the corner of his mouth but have never done one before....

Re: Earthbound Invasion of the Saucermen

Thanks everyone. It's about 16" tall. I did it at the same time I worked on my Monster Squad Gillman and used the same basic color scheme as Gillman on the brain portion here. Mostly because I had the paint. :-)

Bram Stoker's Dracula

This was my first commission piece from Bram Stoker's Dracula. I was commissioned to do the paint job...hair and eyes are someone else. These are sort of a progression with the final two photos being the finished product to the owner's specs: http://i1285.photobucket.com/albums/a591/sideshowtony445/...

Rub N Buff REMOVAL

I usually strip something of paint using the purple stuff...but I've never tried to remove Rub N Buff. Is there a way?
