Easy Way to Paint Dumbell Eyes

[Alex C. 0]

I believe it was Dble Haul who mentioned this setup for painting dumbell eyes a while back, well anyways, I was painting a dozen eyes this morning for the clouser swap and figured I'd take a pic to share with anyone who is looking for a faster way to paint dumbell eyes

 

 

While one side is drying I paint the other side. Then go back and put a second coat on the first, then the second coat on the second. Next I put the pupils on each eye. Finally when the pupils are dry I put a coat of sally hansen's hard as nails over them and they're ready to go :headbang:

Hwy OLB have you eve tried powdrr paint?? I use it and only it You heat the eyes and dip them in the powder and they cool in seconds and are dry and ready to tie. no mess no drying time no drips no bs just heat dip and done!!! give it a try next time you need to paint.

If the wife finds out you are using her comb., you'll be Skunked again.

PS: looks easier than slicing up a cardboard holder

I like to dip so I get a nice smooth paint job, the powder sounds like a good idea.
