Im just curious how do you keep the paint from coming off on your hands, and if I were to do this what would be a good type of paint to use besides the sharpies
okay well to answer your first question i spray everything that i paint with acrylic lacquer (a clear overcoat) i use a lightweight one and use 3-4 coats. This is so it doesnt rub off from the oil on your hands. Now paint wise any spray paint will work but i recommend vinyl and fabric paint its more specific to this type of stuff.. try to use lighter paints if possible. Hope this helps!
