the paint itself was a long process.

the first layer is acrylic paint (just so i'd know how it would look)

then i put a mixture of thinned acrylic paint with a permanent glossy finish and painted that on top of the acrylic.

so the paint will not bleed or smudge at all.. its like that part's already finished. also, the painting part was during the summer so its had a long while to dry.

my problem is, i don't have those materials anymore and can't recreate it.
