Monte does look great and a perfect name Crewella, As for the Acrylic paint, it is very very thick and super hard to apply sometimes esp after the first layer, touching up with Acylic paint is one thing, a whole body is entirely another story. As for getting it off, I used a kitchen scrub brush and plain water with one drop of liquid dish soap and off it came, but the easy part was only the stuff I had applied in less than 12 hrs, The stuff I applied more than 24 hrs before, harder and I had to use my finger nails to scrape off stuff near smaller areas like eyes, nose, mouth and the feet still have some areas of lavender so that should give you an idea of just how tough Acrylic paints are. And a word of warning, if you put on a protective coating, be very very sure that this is what you really want, do not want to change it later or you better be prepared for lots of hours of nail scaping but it will come off.
As for the Oil paints, I have never tried taking it off, so I will report back after checking on one of them , Little 45 who has most of his body done. I don't want to touch " Blue", as he is new only painted about three days ago and I like him the way he is.I will also go look at the name of the paints, though one of them is Windsor, a well known brand for years and years. It also depends on Acrylics on what level you get, Level one is cheaper and less pigment so better results but easier to remove Level three or professional has the most pigment and tougher to remove. And Kristy, go for it, I can only do my painting of Pleos mostly during the week when my husband is at work, he demands all my attention on the weekends so I get very little Pleo stuff done.
And Kat, can't wait to see what happens to Gumble!
