The interruption from the rain provided plenty of time for the Gloss Ivory paint to cure on the horns and shield tips. I masked them off with blue tape and plastic bags. I discovered there are many different types of blue tape. I had trouble with the tape coming off when I was masking the stripes on one of the large Triceratops. There are different adhesive strength levels. Make sure you discuss your project with your home improvement/hardware store specialist for the correct strength. Too strong may remove paint you recently applied. Too light may not stay in place when most needed. I was able to paint the Gloss Maui Blue without masking additional areas by using a piece of cardboard to catch the overspray. After the Blue had time to dry to the touch, I covered the head to protect the eyes and nostrils. At which time, I finished the Flat Brown on the rest of the Triceratops body.
After giving the Gloss Maui Blue a couple of days to completely cure, I masked the eyes and nostrils and finished painting the head with the Flat Brown. Then carefully lying Marc on his side, painted the belly Satin Eden (green) using cardboard aids to reduce overspray. Applied a couple of coats. Inspection to confirm appropriate coverage. Then it was time to right Marc and complete the painting of the Satin Eden. Again, walking around to make sure the green comes up to the level on the sides that I wanted. Let cure for a couple of hours, then back in the garage to protect from the next rain storm.
Next week: applying the Gloss Marigold to the head shield and start masking for the Gloss Maui Blue stripes along the back and tail.
Have a Great Week!
