Next Firewhatfire blank, botched reverse paint

[Drstrangefart]

So, this is the worst reverse paint job I've ever done. I was doing what I'd figured out worked, but at the wrong temperature. First one of these I've done when it was cold in the house. That out of the way, KILLER blank. Loved it, it was a really easy, stable turn and other than the reverse paint issue, I couldn't be happier with how it turned out.

I'm wondering, will acrylic paint do the job reverse painting or do I need something more oil based?

 

[firewhatfire]

I use acrylic when I do them. I have one bottle of Ceramacoat brand paint that I got from Hobby Lobby that works really well. Best I have used so far. It looks like I am gonna have to make you a replacement for that one and bring it to the next meeting. Maybe a double handful for all the advertising.

I also tried to skip painting the tubes. Bad call. I use acrylic craft paints for all of my painting. Load it in there with a Q tip.

If you use epoxy to glue the tubes, you might try putting a drop or two of paint in the epoxy mix. Works for me. YMMV....
