I really don't like to paint projects but people are liking it, especially on sports plaques. I have been painting the backers sports color with a rattle can and then gluing on my scroll work. When it is dry I put a clear coat over the whole thing. I have had to redo a few projects because of the base paint coat wrinklied up. I have never had that problem with flat black but I have not found bright colors in flat finishes. I have tried brushing on acrylic craft paint but I am not happy with the brush strokes I get.
I would appreciate you sharing any paint process you use. dave
