So I was cleaning out my shed and found some cheap black spray paint the other day, and decided to see how well it took to a couple of my spares.

 

They all had signs of colour bleed / common so pretty worthless - should they not come out very well.

 

I was pretty surprised how even it covered and not filling in much of the detail at all.

 

They now have a nice place on the shelf, so if you have any duplicates that are just sitting in a box somewhere, have a go yourself

Been thinking of doing this with extra Muscles. But going the Rit Dye route instead of paint. 

 

These figures look great in black. And very clean.

I can testify that Rit Dyes More works great for this sort of thing...And it doesn't rub/scratch off like paint might if you don't seal it.

Your the one that gave me the idea when you posted showing off the MoaiMan dyes you done.

Never thought of using a leather dye, will keep that in mind!

 

Mine are stored in a glass display so don't get handled, so I don't need to worry too much about paint scuffing.
