Hey doll friends! I want to make a few more custom obitsus, but I’m hoping to make them with pastel skin colors!



Suggestions for the best process to use to get the best result?



Spray paints? Dye? Airbrushing?

Depends on the color of your base.



If you can get white-white or close to it, dye will sort of work but will not dye evenly between different types of plastic/vinyl so joints might not match limbs.

I do NOT recommend spray paint, it doesn’t like vinyl and tends to stay sticky. Airbrushing acrylic works pretty well, though.



Any sort of surface paint will chip in the joints. @oak23​ uses super glue to coat the parts that are most likely to rub and prevent chipping.

You could, theoretically, reingineer joints and print them in the color you want.
