Advice on gloss paint...

[uzumaki_1]

Hi there,

I've got some hot toys figures and wanted to put some glaze in the eyes can anyone advise on any products I can use that will put a gloss finish in the eyes without ruining the figure ? Also I live in the UK so any suggestions from walmart or any other superstores will be useless to me....thanks in advance !!!

Gloss clear and a fine brush is all you need. I would think any uk craft store brick or online would have it.

i think revel do small square pots of waterbased paint which i have always been a fan of, for about £1.50. The Clear however i found to be misty, almost white, so i would avoid this (or maybe it just needs really excessive sturing). You can always just spray a can of laquer into a pot and brush that on, though it may dry in your brush if you are taking a long time, just bear in mind that water based and oil based paints will react if mixed, so either find a laquer that matches what you are using, or wait until the bottom coat if thouroughly dry before painting over it.
Good luck!

Go to a Games Workshop and get some " 'Ardcoat ". It's a gloss varnish you can paint on.
