| PAINTING
SERVICES |
|||
| Toy Fanatic offers painting services for resin heads. While I may do vinyl heads in the future, currently, I only paint resin. Prices vary depending on type of paint job. It takes me approximately two hours to do a basic paint job similar to a vintage Mego. It takes longer to do a female head and even longer to do something more painterly like some of the horror heads seen below. With my services you get a primed head that is painted with the quality that would satisfy me if it were mine. I prime and varnish the heads to promote longevity. Yes, I could do it cheaper and faster if I omitted some steps, but I wouldn't be satisfied with the result.

| You might wonder why I need to go through all of these steps and why I insist on priming. Well, to answer the priming question, if you don't prime, the paint can easily slough off. I've had people tell me to rinse the dried paint off of my heads for repainting. And I thought, "What the?" And with experimentation, I discovered that, without priming a head, this is exactly what happens. Here's a photo of an unprimed head with paint on it that I rinsed in lukewarm water (after allowing paint to dry for a week):
This would NOT happen with a good primer on the head. Incidentally, this was painted with Vallejo paints, who claim that no primer is needed. Now if the dried paint is this unstable in lukewarm water, it can be safely assumed that the paint will be generally unstable and susceptible to other kinds of damage. Of course, if you customize and aren't concerned about longevity, then don't prime. That is your prerogative. I prefer to prime however. Regarding the other steps I take, it is out of a need to do quality work. I have high standards. I'm a professional artist.

PAYMENT
INFORMATION |
|||
| I require payment before painting. I will consider painting heads I do not sell, depending on condition. I will charge extra if there are lots of bubbles and it's a poor quality casting. You are responsible for shipping both ways. Depending on the size of order, most heads are completed and shipped in about a week. Occasionally, it will take two weeks. So far, it has never taken longer than that. Email me at halbritter@chartermi.net for quotes. Include your name and address for shipping information. |
