I sprayed Castaneda's Neemo body on Saturday morning right before I took off to go to the Bust Craftacular with my friend Cece. I generally do it before I got out some where so that I don't have to sit in the noxious fumes while it dries. Due to so many past failures with Takara and Licca bodies, I was very wary about how the Neemo body would turn out despite the fact that all signs seemed to indicate that this would be a successful medium on which to paint anything. When I got home hours later it was dry but I was still paranoid and did a few finger pressing tests just to be sure. I also left it in Newspaper and cloth for a bit and picked it up later to see if it would stick. Both times it's been perfectly dry. I was able to put Castaneda's head on and I have to say, I do like it. I mean this body is actually so much more sophisticated and idealized than the Takara and Licca bodies that it's a bit intimidating for me. But I just adore the matte finish of her color so much! It's like velvet! I just love the way it reflects light! It's not harsh. Now if only the t-bars I ordered from Coolcat will just get here so I can start finishing her up.
wow, she did come out fabulous. What exactly did you spray the body with, and is that the same as you used for the head?
ReplyDeleteI used "Krylon Fusion Ultra Flat Camo" spray paint. And yes I used it for her face plates as well. This was my first time using Krylon as well as a matte spray paint.
ReplyDeletethanks, I might just work up the courage to spray paint a girl this summer. I really love how it looks on yours.
