        Dumb question *ducks* Out of curiosity, has anyone used automotive paint on the pyos and can you use it with a brush or do you have to use an airbrush. There are so many yummy colors out there…

          I think auto paints have to be used with an airbrush only. Its too thin to really use with a brush…

          I am not 100% on this so don’t take my work for it.

          I think down towards the bottom it might say something about what you are asking…. sorta…

          Hope I am not confusing you any…. 😕

          I know what you mean though! Some of the car colors are very nice! 🙂

            As long as it wasn’t oil based or enamel based I would guess it would work fine.

              I wanna say that it is since you need thinner to remove it and to thin it down.

              I could SOOOOOO see an honest Black Cherry dragon! Ohhhh yeah!

                Exactly! ‘Course Candy Apple Red has always been a favorite. How many auto paints are named after some sort of food? Could there be an ice cream sundae dragon using food named paint? Yummy! 😈

                      This is tricky- I don’t really know much about automotive paints or the different types. Melody has used some on the first Ruby dragons- perhaps she can help you out. 😆 I should also note that those that they used automotive paint on were the most problematic..! They would turn colors/fade/the paint would rub off…

                        I used some spray automotive paint on a kirin (I just masked off where I didn’t want the paint). It was kinda tricky, since it was also a very stark color difference (transparent cherry apple red – sprayed over silver metallic- contrasted to white). It looked fantastic, but I ran into a problem in the spray I used. The paint was enamel, but the clearcoat I used was meant for acrylic (which I didn’t realize… d’oh!), so the red clouded and dulled a little. I’ll try it again either before winter sets in or in the spring (since I can’t spray things as easily in the cold winter).

                            I was hoping to get pics up this past week, but it’s on my to do list for the weekend. I have to crop the pics. I’ve got a few pyos to post 😉
