Please visit My Webpage to see my art and PYO's that I've done in the past!So I’m in the middle of working on my first PYO Kirin (he’s currently very, VERY pink :lol:), and I was curious to know how some of you do his topcoat. I have his horn masked right now and I plan on keeping it that way until I’m done, but I’m curious, does anyone here actually add the topcoat to the horn as well, or when you spray/brush it on do you keep the horn masked?
Just wondering, I don’t want to do it the wrong way!

Please visit My Webpage to see my art and PYO's that I've done in the past!I always mask the horn off. I believe there is a possibility that the topcoat could cause problems to the gold coating of the horn. But don’t quote me on it.
I wish the horns just came unattached. I hate dealing with them. Though the ki-rin is my favorite pyo, I never paint them because of the horn.Thanks for the tips guys!
I figured that I should keep it taped off, but I wasn’t positive.
I hear you, Kujacker – I had assumed it would come unattached but I was wrong! My father suggested that maybe it’s particularly hard to get it to set right, so they just do it there at Windstone. I’m just hoping that the masking tape will come off easily, and won’t do anything to the gold on the horn. I figure it should be OK, but I worry a lot ><

You’re so smart!! I hadn’t even thought of that, and I saran wrap my unused paints every night!!
Me: *saran wrapping paints* hmm.. how else could I mask the horn.. *saran wrapping more* hmmmmm……😆
