**ocean2211** · 29th April 2013, 19:14

my eyelids have finally arrived along with my spray cans off primer, colour code paint and a can of laquer.
but having never sprayed anything would like advice on prep and paining or should i just pay and let someone else sort them

also should i tiger seal them on or use number plate stickers ???

Make sure where ever you spray them is warm and clean

Sounds like a lot of effort to me, the missus just slaps some Rimmel eyeshadow on and that's it.

I keyed mine with a fine grade wet & dry, sprayed a couple of coats of primer then a couple of coats of paint, followed by a few coats of lacquer with a bit of light sanding between each process.

Alot of work for eyebrows i know. Did mine over 3/4 days. 3 layers paint and around 3 laquer. Left them in me mams green between laquer stages. Came out nice too.
