If you want the under-color to be different than the color of the vinyl, your first step will be to put down 2 – 3 fine coats of your base color, then follow that with 2-3 coats of sealer; you want it well-sealed so that only the top color will rub off when you get to that step. Then go ahead and spray or brush on a layer of acrylic for your top color (use acrylic rather than an intended-for-vinyl paint like MK or VC, as it will rub off easier); just enough so that it’s relatively even and opaque. Let it dry, but don’t seal. Put on some gloves, take some isopropyl alcohol and a rag, and go to town. Work over the whole piece, going gently at first so you can gauge how easily the top coat is going to come off- you don’t want to strip off more than you mean to. When you're satisifed, seal it all up! If you want the under-color to be the color of the naked vinyl, just skip step one above. Have fun! |

You know, unless you are displaying this toy in extremes of temperature or light, the paint will hold out and stay on/look just fine for as many years as you'll probably own it without any clearcoat... but I guess now I'm curious as to why you wouldn't want to seal with a clearcoat. |
