What’s the best type of paint to use on Plastic toys (barbie doll)?
What type of paint is most permanent for painting on plastic dolls such as Barbie’s? Does it need a top coat to seal it?
I’m a doll artist. My one of a kind Barbie dolls have been in the October 2004 issue of Barbie Bazaar magazine, and my Obitsu dolls are on the covers of the “Pretty Little Liars” series of books.
You HAVE to use acrylic paint. Using oil paints will cause the vinyl to deteriorate over time, and using any kind of enamel (including spraypaint) will just cause tackiness because the paint will never dry.
Many doll artists agree that the best and most easiest paints to use are Golden Fluid Acrylics, and then you’ll also want to use a very small paintbrush (I like the Loew Cornielle miniature brushes in size 18/0).
Remember, always thin your paint before painting your doll. Five or six thin layers is much better than one thick, goopy layer, even though it’s more time consuming to paint in layers. You’re going for a factory look, and as such, you never want to show any brushstrokes.
Golden and Liquitex make some very nice sealers. You’ll want to use a matte sealer for eyeshadow, and you’ll want to use a gloss sealer for eyeballs. Lips can be sealed in matte, gloss, or satin, whichever you prefer.
If you’re interested in rerooting your dolls with new hair, you can visit my doll hair site, www.dollyhair.com. We sell saran hair, which is what Barbie dolls are rooted with at the Mattel factory.
Be sure that you do ALL of your hair work (including styling) before you do your repaint. If you reroot the head or style the hair after you’ve already painted the face, you can damage your repant.
