[@kaiserdamasus1978]

You really did an amazing job. You honoured Our Lady with a beautiful restoration of this image. I watched very closely because I am also working on a religious statue, and I paid close attention to your work because it's so good. God bless you!

[@Worldfriends218]

Hi very helpful i just got a old our lady mouldy statue i going to do i remove all old paint now needs fixing then new paint do use this air brushing well the bush show marks

[@ceciliabibanco1188]

You are blessed

[@VictoriaBlendsYT]

Thank you! But at the moment I am not working on any projects for other people.

[@ML-is6pn]

I used to paint church statues and can tell you that Plaster church statues are called "Chalkwear" because they should ONLY be painted with Chalk Paint. Glossy eyes mean that they have Glass Eyes which means they are a Daprato Rigali vintage Plaster and Horse Hair hand made statue that has a value in the Thousands of dollars. Life size statues from this studio are usually valued about $25,000 depending on what condition it is in. Using the wrong type of paint can seriously affect the value and cause mildew and other issues under the paint. I've painted many that had to be almost completely stripped by hand with no chemicals because someone used acrylic, house paint or other type of paint. It's probably next to impossible to redo a statue that has been spray painted unless it was taken to a professional that would charge a few thousand minimum. God Bless

[@VictoriaBlendsYT]

Amazing! 🙌🏼🙏🏽 Thank you for taking the time and writing that.

[@verohenri1966]

Did you ever use Casein Paint? Milk based!

[@kayeramirez3617]

Our lady of guadalupe

[@carmene.9407]

[@adrianjerson9603]

Hi, what color do you use on cheeks and face?

[@ceciliabibanco1188]

Where can you be reached

[@gabrielmacari8208]

Hello, Great work! What was the name of the pen you used to do the gold trim?

[@VictoriaBlendsYT]

Thank you very much. It is called a 18k gold leafing pen by KRYLON. I purchased from Hobby Lobby.

[@celsojoven3525]

Bell church

[@RezellRezell]

do you have a cleaning solution that could remove paint/stains on the folds of the dress of the image?

[@granmabern5283]

Superfine steel wool, rubbed on dry, Will take off small stains without disturbing the paint too much. Next level would be paint thinner on q-tip or on a cotton rag, small amount. Paint thinner will take off paint so be gentle.

[@allenletizia321]

Is that latex paint over the oil from can spray paint ?

[@granmabern5283]

Yes acrylic

[@mangalavarthadayara727]

Which paint you are using?

[@VictoriaBlendsYT]

Aerosol Spray Paint, 18K Gold Paint, and acrylic paint made for outside all from Hobby Lobby.

[@zeeponce5087]

Hi can you please list down the name of paint to use. I am trying tocrepaint my life-size Our Lady of Lourdes

[@VictoriaBlendsYT]

I’m not sure what your statue is made out of. I personally love to shop at Hobby Lobby for most of my craft projects paints. Also the workers there know a lot more if you explain to them and show a photo. :) you can use small bottles of acrylic paint that’s made for outside materials such as potting planters. I used aerosol as well.

[@vijayamirtharaj9115]

If you provide us name of the material you used llb greatfull to us . Mam it's 😍. Great work.

[@VictoriaBlendsYT]

All the paint is from hobby lobby and the pre made patching compound in the tube is from Home Depot 🙏🏽

[@unnutz5231]

My mother and me watched your work and she asked if it is 'the original 'statue.

[@VictoriaBlendsYT]

It is the family’s original statue that has been in their family for many years. As far as if it was the original that others were create and casted from, I am not sure. I did not sculpt this, I patched the cracks and chips and gave it fresh paint.

[@ceciliabibanco1188]

Correction a statue that needs repair

[@ceciliabibanco1188]

I have a statement that needs repair
