Painting resin statues is a bit like painting plastic--
Unless the resin is prepared first and primer is applied, the paint may fall off in a short period of time or not attach at all.
If you are redrafting a regulation that takes time outdoors, wash it thoroughly first, otherwise you may draw on dirt.
Clean the resin pieces, whether new or old, have the opportunity to find small obstacles or seams that need to be polished before painting.
Wipe the resin block on a damp sponge with a little powder cleaner or mild dish soap.
The cleaner is best for unpainted resin, or very dirty resin, and can be completely re-painted.
Mild dish soap is suitable for resin that has been painted and only needs to be modified;
The soap is mild enough not to hurt the existing paint.
Remove the lumps with a toothbrush-
On debris such as outdoor graphics for resin.
Rinse the resin object with tap water.
Check the cleaned resin statue to find the seams or excess resin that need to be trimmed before painting.
Cut off the resin ridge with a craft knife, remove the knife from your body for safety, instead of sliding towards you.
Use sandpaper to smooth the rough ridges instead of cutting the spare material with a knife.
Wipe the dust with a damp sponge.
Cover a work area in the well
Outdoor and other ventilation positions with newspapers.
If the resin item is small enough, it can be placed inside the carton, replace the paint booth with a large carton, put the box aside, place the item in the box and stand upright.
Shake the primer tank for about a minute.
Spray the statue with a smooth, uniform stroke, keeping the primer 12 to 18 inch away from the object.
Before the statue begins, start each stroke and end at the end of the statue.
This maintains the consistency of the finish and does not have a primer burst in one area.
Let the primer dry and then turn the statue to the other side.
Let the primer dry completely.
Paint with an acrylic craft or paint with an artist's brush for a plastic model to paint the statue.
Use one color at a time, allowing all paint to dry before drawing adjacent areas.
If the whole statue is basically a color, such as the lady, you can choose to apply a color to the base color of the whole statue, and then add a second color to the dry base color.
Continue painting the desired color on the statue, first draw a large area, and finally add details after the paint below the details is dry.
For example, if the statue has big eyes, draw the eye color and then add pupil and detail after the main eye color is dry.
