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).

Any pics? I’d love to see what it looks like! Still playing chicken with my pyo. Maybe this weekend… 😀 😀
