Spex84 Posted June 1, 2016 Share Posted June 1, 2016 Looks great, I love the body mods and the color is unconventional and dramatic.So...did you just shoot Testors Wet Look clear (an oil-based product as far as I know) over acrylic paint?? I thought oil-over-acrylic generally resulted in disaster. It has in my experience.Very curious! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
