Members Mckenna Posted July 6 Members Report Posted July 6 Currently working on a headstall, id like to paint it and wondering what would be the best way to go for finishing/sealing the paint? Headstall will be used in varying weather. Will be using Angelus paints. Quote
Contributing Member fredk Posted July 6 Contributing Member Report Posted July 6 Angelus paints are an unnecessary expense Far better are the paint pens meant for car detailers to use on tyres. They last a long time on tyres without any sealer over them but, thinned coats of Resolene or Pledge with Future shine (or whatever its currently called) Quote Al speling misteaks aer all mi own werk..

I'll have to dig into these pens. I've only seen the waxy crayon type. I'll look around online later today.

Contributing Member fredk Posted July 6 Contributing Member Report Posted July 6 They come in two basic types 1; is acrylic paint 2; is oil paint I use both types I get them for under £2 each, and often there are multiple buy discounts which with 3 or more they are £1.75 each Just about all the colours you'd need plus Gold and Silver Quote Al speling misteaks aer all mi own werk..
Members PAMuzzle Posted July 6 Members Report Posted July 6 is there a brand name? I am in US looking for something easier for laser carvings. Quote
Contributing Member fredk Posted July 6 Contributing Member Report Posted July 6 (edited) I could give you some brand names of the ones I use but that might be pointless as those brands might not be available in the US I buy mine thru ebay Just search ebay for 'paint pens' in all categories and you'll probably get hundreds of hits PS. ooh, I forgot to say they come with a range of nib sizes. from 0.8mm to 4mm. I use 0.8mm and 2mm mostly Edited July 6 by fredk Quote Al speling misteaks aer all mi own werk..
