What color of white paint for skulls?

try wildlife colors ivory white. almost a dead ringer for real bone color.

 

I think it is safe to say that NONE of us on here would advocate painting a skull under normal circumstances.

However, if there is some repair that you need to blend, then the best thing to do (in my experience) is to get a basic white (e.g., titanium), a yellowish and a brownish (stuff in the sienna, umber and burnt sienna and burnt umber range) and sometimes a bit of black (for colors that might tend toward gray) and blend appropriately. In the end, bone isn't really one color at all!

If you are looking to paint the whole thing (I shudder at that prospect), then whites in the "off" white, ivory and "bone" work.

 

Lifetone pure white lacquer is what I have used to blend repairs and it worked good.

 

I do not paint but Michael P on here swears by the cheap Dollar Store white paint. Soaks in just right apparently, is a good color and doesn't hide the texture of the bone. Though I do not know how it reacts with Apoxie.

 

Exactly!! I use the cheapest white no name spray paint you can find. I don't know why but it works the best. I do only use it when I absolutely have to. Like epoxy repairs, etc.

 

Wildlife colors touch up white and ivory. usually airbrush on the white and then blend the ivory over it to tone it down just a touch. Remember to put a texture on your apoxie otherwise it will look to smooth and fake.

I use ( kilz) on them. You wont have to worry about any thing bleeding through.
Its a stainblocker blocker.
I find it to the right color not to yellow or eye blinding white.
