Making plastic mannequin ready for paint
I have recently bought some plastic mannequins. I wish to paint these using automotive paint. My problem is the plastic has a good bit of porosity in places. I can apply putty to fill the small holes but it is very time consuming to do this. I am wondering if it would be possible to get a thick primer and dip the parts to get a good result.
