Paint FAQ

Just like the title says...today we will be talking about paints. All kinds of crazy paints....but before we get started with all the MADNESS that I subject myself too, lets cover the basics:

What kind of paints should I be using?
Acrylics!!!!!!!! I cant state that hard enough...DO NOT USE ENAMELS! They will not dry and you will have one sticky pony. Thats not fun. If you have already made that boo-boo, you can try to seal the pony with Mod Podge, that might help. It will at least make pony unsticky lol. As for brand recommendations, I personally use and prefer Apple Barrel and Craft Smart (available at Micheals...for 50 cents). However there are many artists who use the higher end (more pricey) brands like Games Workshops, Testors or Warhammer. These are usually a couple bucks and come it MUCH smaller bottles that the previous mentioned brands. However it is up to you to decide what works best for you. I have never had a problem with the paint I use, so I dont feel the need to pay more for less paint. But thats my opinion. ^_^ You must choose your own custom path, little grasshopper. The important part is that whatever path you choose is one paved with acrylic paint.

(SIDE NOTE: I do feel the need to mention that there are a select few artists who have managed to use oil paints successfully (and quite beautifully) on their customs. Having never tried, I have no idea how to even go about that...but I felt that it needed mentioning, in case anyone wanted to experiment.)

Where can I find Color Change/Iridescent paint?
Gem Shift
Luminescent Acrylics
Golden Iridescents
Auto Air Iridescents
Auto Air Gem Chameleon
Killer Chameleon
Krylon Make-It-Iridescent

A lot of these products are available in auto part stores or craft stores.

Where can I find Glow In the Dark paint?
Glow Inc.
Blacklite
Glow Paint Pen
Rustoleum Paint
Super Starz Glow Paint
DecoArt Glow Medium (this is what I use)
DecoArt Glow Spray
Krylong Glowz Spray Paint

Most of these products are available in home improvement stores and craft stores.

Anita's Fragile Crackle
DecoArt Weathered Wood
DecoArt Sandstone
DecoArt Crackle Medium

Whats a good glitter paint?

Liquitex Liquigems

Ok well, thats all fine and good, but I want my custom to REALLY stand out! What do you have for me thats really crazy, but cool? (Why do i do this to myself?)

Liquid beads, A product which I find very intriguing. It is basically mircobeads and glass beads in an adhesive medium:
Liquid Beadz 1
Liquid Beadz 2

Reflective Beads...Have you ever seen a reflective sign that had a bumpy texture...like tons of little glass beads stuck to it? This is that stuff!
Rolco Reflective Beads

Pearlizing Medium, this stuff is GORGEOUS! When mixed with paint or a clear sealant it produces a stunning pearlescent sheen in a rainbow of colours. *thanks Airiel!*
Jacquard PearlEx

You'd think this wouldve been the first post huh? Well apparently me and my logic disagreed. Plus, I thought I already HAD made this post! *FAIL* So yea...better late than never! These will be divided up by what they cover, so if you need help with one issue, just seek that section.

(Most of these tutorials are not made by me, but some are :P I have just assembled them here for easy reference.)

Hair Matches ( a WIP)

So, as always, hair match questions are big chunk of "help" posts in the forums....so I thought I'd try to tackle this topic. I will be matching dollyhair colours mainly, since dollyhair is what I use. I will however list the CP colours that match the dollyhair colours (according to the site). I will be pulling information from several places, including my own collection of ponies/hair and a few other sites:

http://www.ponyhairguide.com/
http://www.custompony.com/
http://www.dollyhair.com/

Also, this will mainly consist of G1s at first, just because those are easier lol. G3s have like 50 billion shades of hair.... Anywho, I will break this up into sections for each colour, and I will List the shade of hair from dollyhair, then list all ponies it matches.

----PINK----

Pussycat ( CP Fading Rose)
*NOTE*- This is what is known as "fading pink". It more often than not fades to white, or near white. These colours would match mint ponies with unfaded hair. If your hair has faded to a very light pink I suggest Fairy's Breath (dollyhair). If it has faded to white, and you wish to keep it white, I suggest Virgin Snow or Marshmallow (dollyhair).

Virgin Snow ( CP Winter Frost)
ALL G1 ponies with white hair match this colour. Unless your pony's hair was originally Fading Pink (see above), then Virgin Snow is the hair colour you are looking for. However, most hair takes a tint after 20 or so years, so often Marshmallow (dollyhair) is a better match. Straight out of the factory, the hair was Virgin Snow, but aged hair is often closer to Marshmallow. Also, all G3 ponies that dont have Blizzard white hair will match Virgin Snow as well.
