Bob Blea Report post Posted October 18, 2013 To answer the original question, it is paint. They even say that in the item description. I would use acrylics and then seal it with resolene. Bob Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Alihs Report post Posted October 25, 2013 I think the effect is done by painting twice, then wiping some of the second coat of with a solvent. But I do not think this can be done with dye's. More likely with acrylics or the like. Hope this helps. Kim Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
