All the pieces more than touch dry were collected on my table, and armed with a nail and tooth brush, I set to work buffing off the excess spray paint clumps. Some came off easily, and I switched to just the nail brush as it wasn’t harming the paint and was better at buffing. I discovered a few of the wood tables had paint runs across the top from being turned upside down too soon but after a second coat they were minimal enough to mimic natural imperfections.
The older Barbie furniture took to the paint very well, minus the white paint that’s still tacky more than 24 hours later. The aluminum looks the best and aside for a bubble spot or two the black couch really looks nice now. The brown comes off darker on film than real life and looks really good with the ivory cushions. Next is sealing and while I did do a few pieces, I want to save them for the next post when I have more done.
Materials Needed: rubbing alcohol, Goo-Be-Gone, painters tape, scissors, spray paint, spray paint sealer, drop cloth, fingernail brush, mask, gloves, floss or fishing line*
