As a toy maker, I always love finding new projects. Recently, I've been focusing on creating handmade wood toy Fat Fendered Freaky Ford Panel Trucks. Building these little trucks is a lot of fun. I've enjoyed every step of the process.

However, I've been putting off the painting step for a while now. But today, I finally decided it was time to get to work and bring these little trucks to life with a bright red paint job.

I used flat, bright red acrylic craft paint to bring these trucks to life. This paint brushes well and provides good coverage with just a few coats. I opted to brush the paint onto the trucks rather than using an airbrush. While an airbrush can provide a smoother finish, I wanted to let the wood grain show through and give these trucks a rustic look.

I love using flat paint for these toys because it does not show defects as easily as gloss or satin finishes. It also dries quickly, which is always a plus when working on a project like this.

In the end, I'm pleased with how these Fat Fendered Freaky Ford Panel Trucks turned out. They have a fun, playful look and will make a great addition to any child's toy collection. Whether you're a toymaker yourself or love handmade toys, I hope these little trucks will inspire you to get creative and try your hand at making something special.

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
