Pony up, MLPTP customizers! I'm looking to finally start customizing after years of collecting and I need some advice because I'm just a dumb beginner. I know there are some very talented people here so I know I'll get some good info.
1. I remember that certain types of nail polish remover work better on G3 paint than others. Should I use acetone or non-acetone? Additionally, a doll collector friend has chemicals for removing face-ups that she says will work, too - will that melt/corrode/destroy the plastic?
2. Would using any of the above chemicals effect the surface of the pony so it wouldn't take dye the way the rest of the body would?
3. Is dye the easiest/most reliable way to go for changing a body color?
4. If paint is easier, what brand would recommend for a smooth application and a matte finish? I don't want them to turn out super shiny.
5. Conversely, what paint do you recommend for a super shiny effect?
6. What do you use to make stencils for crisp lines?
7. To change eye color, should I strip the eyes first and repaint, or just slap the new color on top? And do you know a good match for the dark blue used for the G3 pupils?
8. Speaking of eye paint, how do you prevent the lighter colors of paint from picking up a tint when you dye the pony?
Thank you so so much for reading!
