guide to paints. What do you use to paint on metal murti?

You will need:

TURPENTINE FOR BRUSH CLEAN UP AND THINNING.
FINE BRUSHES – .07 WATERCOLOR OR ACRYLIC BRUSHES

THE FOLLOWING BASIC COLORS:

White

Red

Optional Extra colors which are nice to have:
Yellow
Gold/ bronze/ silver
Pink (you could mix own)
Blue
Green
Peach (mix from red and yellow/white)

Oil based enamel can withstand many years of daily bathing, although it is prone to chipping.  Oil paints are slightly tougher and if you have the patience to sit out the requisite drying time are ideal.

Oil based paints can take up to 8 weeks took dry but this depends on the thickness of the applied paint and the climate.  Dry climates will hasten the drying process.
