Easy eye painting

[QPassage]

These are easy to use work great and dry quick. Walmart has them for a couple bucks each. Quick dot with these and a clear coat and you are done.

Doing the same thing with metal (fabrication paint sticks) from Grainger or Fastenall They also make a fine point. Good technique.

Looks like a good plan to me.

You mention a clear coat after dotting the eyes....... are you coating with nail polish or some other liquid coat? Wondering if you could paint the eyes on while powder painting then a quick dip in clear powder to seal it. Not sure how it would take the heat of the cure tho........ ?

I'm using a spray coat. I use Krylon Crystal Clear Acrylic Coating 1303A
Dries in just a few minutes and it doesn't yellow.
