Here are the painted Pivnik brothers. These hand cast urethane figurines were spray painted using Fusion for Plastic by Krylon, and then details hand painted using Testors model paint. Painting these plastic toys has been the most toxic part of making resin toys. The silicon mold and urethane don’t have any smell or fume that bothers me. The paints both have serious fumes to deal with. I spray paint outside, but I paint the details with model paint in the studio. I opened the doors and windows in my studio for lots of cross breeze. I admit I love the over spray look from the spray paint, all toys need over spray. I have also loved the perfect glossy enamel look that Testors paint has since I was a young kid making model cars. Fun stuff when used together.
