    SusieQ07, she looks great with the new paint job. Her face has a much more realistic expression.

    Wow thats a great paint job. I have a few cement statues that need painting really bad. I am inspired by your handy work. What kind of paint did you use? Latex or oil? :stew1:

    I use Krylon spray gloss enamel (interior/exterior) from Walmart, I spray my paint into the cap, and even mix colors that way. No painting today but another is waiting on my work bench.
    Here's a pic., I took last evening of solar light morphing into 3 of the many colors:
