Painting hands....

FYI on painting hands (if you want it to look right) .....
1) all the old paint has to be removed
2) they need to be sanding with 600 grit wet sand paper - no shinny areas remaining
3) placed on pins or posts and cleaned with solvent
4) primed with flat white spray paint (quality spray cans)
5) 2 coats of the final color (quality spray cans)
- second one goes on while the 1st one is setting up
6) let dry overnight before attachment - be careful paint still soft
There, nothing to it and good luck trying this. Craig
