Tablet of Lost Memories enamel paint restoration

So since my Yu-Gi-Oh tin project was so popular on here and some people even mentioned wanting the set I wanted to let you know that I did make extras and have some available on my Etsy store. They are shipping from Canada and are quite large so don't come cheap but I also wanted to show my methods for those with access to tins themselves.

As well as the pictured: paintbrushes (disposable), enamel paints, cotton wool and alcohol (for removal), you will also need PPE such as masks and gloves as enamel paints are highly corrosive. Additionally, I did lose the photo but a good clear metal primer to spray on the tins before painting is very important.

I did freehand the paint mixing but made so many of these that found that the above painting order works best for preserving as much paint as possible. The trick is to paint colours in steps going into the secondary colours and while I either missed some steps or lost some photos hopefully it will be enough to help you.

Some tips:

• Keep a small bowl of 100% alcohol around to keep your brushes clean, if the paint is allowed to dry it will destroy the brush.

• The paint I bought was enough to do 3-4 minimum and is very expensive so many do a couple at a time if you have no other plans for the paint.
