Quoted from Noobee:Certainly not expensive, the way I do it, but very tedious and time consuming. I guess you just have to like doing stuff like that. I repaint with Joanne fabrics acrylic paints and craft brushes. Then I clearcoat with, dare I say, brush on minwax polycrylic. Block sanding between coats 2 or 3 through 7. Many say that is sacrilege, but in my experience it looks good if done right, and with the amount of play the machines get in home use, holds up very well.
Project looks great. Not sacrilege if these are the results. I think you are an artist.
