VINYL PAINTING 101

Visit www.vinylwonder.com to purchase this paint. This instructional video covers the basics of painting soft vinyl toys (sofubi) with vinyl paint. VINYL WONDER Toy Paint is the perfect option for American designer toy artists since it is specifically formulated to chemically bond to vinyl and made in the USA.

Very impressed by the paint's resilience! (Thank you for doing that scratch test!) Really enjoyed this informative video!

[@vinylwonder]

thanks for watching Crafsman!

[@ryant.6176]

Good stuff! Looking forward to more! 👍

[@vinylwonder]

I'm glad you enjoyed it Ryan!

[@ijohndrano]

Just ordered some paint, thinner and gloss! Very excited to try. Done much acrylic in the past but have recently gotten interest in sofubi. Can’t wait!

[@vinylwonder]

Thanks John! Beware, it's an addictive hobby 😅

[@theinkslicer]

I'm extremely happy to not only see a paint specifically made for vinyls but the fact that on your website it shows how the colors are applied to Kaiju figures, some of which I own in your examples. This paint will be perfect in doing some restoration work on some scuffed up figures

[@vinylwonder]

That's great to hear! Restoration work is fun. Happy painting and thanks for the support!

[@jayceejangeronga6975]

your works are awesome and ive been learning a lot, hope to see more water based paint tutorials

[@vinylwonder]

Thank you very much! I hope to create some non-toxic formulations in the future, but it's been difficult. The water based vinyls aren't as durable for toys unfortunately.

[@jayceejangeronga6975]

looking forward to your future videos

[@barbariancauldron3284]

Can you do a video on all the safety parts and hazards that we want to avoid?

[@vinylwonder]

Not a bad idea. I'll try my best to get one up soon!

[@spankystokes]

Yes!!!

[@vinylwonder]

thanks for watching Spanky!

[@mikesgroi21]

Oh wow… didn’t realize how well it worked as a brush paint. Thought it was only for an air sprayer.

[@vinylwonder]

Yep! Our concentrate works great as a brushable paint. And if it's still too thick for you out of the bottle, you can thin it down slightly with our vinyl thinner or retarding solvent for more work time.

[@Gozmito]

Yooooo this is epic thanks

[@vinylwonder]

Thank you for watching!

[@simplelifeform]

fantastic video. If you weren't using a clear gloss at the end, would the paint have the same amount of scratch resistance? Thanks!

[@vinylwonder]

Great question Mapaco! As long as you clean the surface of your vinyl well with our thinner, the paint will chemically bond and not need a clear coat. I'll do my next video showing the scratch resistance on a piece that isn't clear coated.

[@hackemfigures8111]

Just bought some paint and I can’t wait to start painting some of my blanks! Do I have to paint everything in one sitting? Or can I paint in different times. Thank you!

[@vinylwonder]

Thank you for your order! You can take your time and paint on different days. No need to paint all in one sitting :)

[@theoriginalfauxbot]

I hope you’re able to make this available to the UK at some point: I’d love to try it.

[@vinylwonder]

I'd love to sell overseas, but we're having a hard time navigating the legal logistics of shipping flammable liquids internationally. We're definitely looking into it, and if you have any helpful tips regarding this, please email us!

[@arranshirovay4064]

Can you have a certified already up and running flammable goods company handle your products, I'd love to get some vinyl wonder paint 🤔

[@diablothegreat5932]

I checked your website and it says ready-spray. Is that the same paint and if so why thin it? Also what is the difference between vinyl paint and lacquer paint? Thank you! EDIT: Checked again and saw it was different paint.

[@vinylwonder]

Yes this video is instructing how to use the vinyl concentrate and turn it into ready-spray. Vinyl paint is vinyl based whereas most lacquer paints are urethane based. The only way you can get a chemical bond to vinyl, is by using vinyl paint. Thanks for your interest!

[@pimenel]

Silly question, how does the products interact with foam clay? Will the thinner damage the foam or does it work well with it?

[@vinylwonder]

Not a silly question at all! You can use Vinyl Wonder on a lot of different substrates, but I'm not positive if it will work on foam clay. I've never tried it. It might?

What Brand of paint and Brushes you use

[@vinylwonder]

www.vinylwonder.com is our website where we sell our paint - any brushes will do but GodHand brushes are good - iwata eclipse is the best for airbrushing

[@barbariancauldron3284]

What’s the best brushes to use?

[@vinylwonder]

You can use any brushes, but I prefer GodHand brand brushes from Japan for my detail work.

[@thebrownlizard3988]

nice job and good video would u pelase give us some info about t safety measurees for those diffrent paints or varnish u used before paiitning? what you need to protect from bad fumes etc? how toxic are they

[@vinylwonder]

Yes, you can read all about proper safety precautions by visiting vinylwonder.com and click on the TIPS link. There's a page dedicated to safety in there. Thank you for watching!

[@remcocustoms5216]

can this paint be used on resin?

[@vinylwonder]

Yes it can! We have an adhesive promoter in our formula specifically designated to bond with most resins. Just make sure your resin has all the mold release cleaned off before painting. Our vinyl thinner can be used to degrease and scrub off mold release from resin figures.

[@remcocustoms5216]

@@vinylwonder thanks for the info, I'm in the midst of creating my very own original figure and I;m looking for a strong paint that won't come off easy

[@remcocustoms5216]

@@vinylwonder oh , also I don't own an air brush, can I still use a regular brush and apply dry brush and wash with this paint?

[@beldin3013]

But no overseas shipping

[@vinylwonder]

hopefully soon though. Subscribe to our newsletter when you get a chance. I'll be sending out an international poll soon to gauge which countries are most interested. We're currently getting certified to ship international, but it's a whole lot of work, and each country has its own regulations on what they consider safe.
