Handmade Wood Toy Pickup Truck from the Play Pal Series Blue Two Tone Body With Metallic Blue Hubs

I cut this truck by hand using a scroll saw. It was initially painted solid blue as a sample for a customer. The paint on the sides got messed up, and rather than try to fix the paint; I decided to remove it. I then coated the entire truck with clear shellac and buffed it to a smooth finish. The result is a beautiful two-tone color scheme where you get the best of both wood grain and paint.

Originally, this one was painted blue. I did not like how the paint looked so I remover it from the sides. I should have sanded a little more. The camera sees things that my eyes can't .

What kind of paint are you using for your Bad Bob's Custom Motors cars?

Image
Bad Bob's Custom Motors I use a variety of paints from various sources. I like the acrylic house paints the best. All of the paints are nontoxic when cured.  I like to use a white primer to seal the wood and make the colors pop. In this case, I am using Zinsser B-I-N shellac based primer.  I prefer to use an airbrush for painting toys but, I have to paint outdoors, and the weather where I live does not cooperate, and I have to wait or use a brush. I used an airbrush for these wooden toy cars. My airbrush is a Badger Anthem 155.  I prefer acrylics over all other paints. They clean up easily, cover well, and are readily available in a vast array of colors. To clean, I flood with water to get rid of the bulk of the paint. The remaining paint is easily removed with ammonia-based cleaners such as window cleaner. I use household$ ammonia to remove dried paint.  I used the following to paint these wooden toy car bodies. Pink - Behr Acrylic House Paint Green - Apple Barrel Gl

Testing Anita's Acrylic Craft Paint

Image
2017-05-08 18.20.48 - Wooden Toy - Play Pal - Trailer - Truck - Orange - Anita's - Acrylic - Craft - Paint I painted these two trailers with Anita's All Purpose Acrylic Craft Paint. I didn't use a primer or sealer coat of any kind. The paint was applied with a brush just as it came from the bottle. This is the first coat of paint. I was quite surprised at how well it covered the wood. The orange paints I have used in the past did not cover well at all.   Usually requiring multiple coats to get to the point where I could not see through it.  It raises the grain a lot but I expected this. Water based finishes of any kind will raise the grain. Etsy Store: http://OdinsToyFactory.com #WoodenToys #WoodToys #WoodenToyTruck #WoodToyTruck #OdinsToyFactory #Handmade
