Custom Painted Pixel Skull PS5 with Stencils, Glossifier, and Plasti Dip - another How To
88I didn't know what I was going for with this. I just knew I wanted some type of Skull Camo and fat pixels and I wanted to test stencils with Plasti Dip. A test I ran on a vinyl toy definitely didn't work very well using 3 colors of dip back to back, so I ultimately stuck with just Black and White. The glossifier used was solely to make it have more of a satin shine, and to make the two coats blend together better (make them more of a single consistent level). Vinyl sticker stencils work well for this, and definitely help the dip stick/look better than a typical wrap as a custom simple design. You can also use vinyl cutouts for things like full size paintings, hobby paintings (Warhammer), and automotive. Or just to throw cool sayings on your wall about hearts and family and crap.
For people unfamiliar with Plasti Dip, yes, it peels off. So if you give it a shot and don't like how it looks or are just tired of the color, take it off and try something new.
