ㅤㅤㅤㅤ-※spray it soft and rightly, don’t paint too “clean”!
ㅤㅤㅤㅤ-※I didn’t use a peal-color! :wink:
ㅤㅤㅤFinishcoat / Mr.Topcoat-clear(semi-gross) by GSI Creos




Note:I hear that a Acrylic plastic will be crack if it touch with thinner, but I didn’t want to use a waterborne-paint for its fragile.
So I bought and test these to it works with thinner-paint, and at least these has a high durability.
(it has not cracked, I saw it through for its clear-material)
(and I tried with more strong thinner, used as Tool-Washer(Mr.ToolCleaner).
(I soaked these with a bath of Tool-cleaner for few minute, and it turned white, but doesn’t has crack. and I tried 2 more soaking, but these are never broken.)
(and I pulled them out of the bath and immediately washed them with water, and put these for a week, but they didn’t get a later-crack.)
So at least my test, Shapeways’ Acrylic plastic is so tough enogh for thinner-painting!
(Again, this is my testing’s resault. please use as simply refer, and I can’t vouch your painting’s resalt.)

Note2:I first polished these shaft-connector to match with Toa’s head piece.
If you didn’t this, they will may be broken when you connnect or remove them with Toa’s face for Acrylic plastic’s durability.
I Recommend to you for adjust shaft-connector at first.

Thank you for seeing! :wink: :wink: :wink: :smiling_face_with_three_hearts: :smiling_face_with_three_hearts: :revolving_hearts:
