Eland Paint Schedule

Instruction Steps:

1. Putty all holes, cracks, nostrils, ears, etc. with a paintable material such as Magic Sculpt.

2. Always paint light colors first; then dark. Begin with Jonas Off White. Spray lightly around eyes and chin area as needed to blend hair slip and blemishes.

3. Next, use Jonas African Gray to speckle around eyes and any hair slip areas, including the body.

4. Then use Jonas Dark Chocolate to paint eyelids, and lightly speckle around eyes, any hair slip and blemishes until colors start to blend.

5. Use Jonas Black to paint eyelids, in and around nostrils, as well as around base of horns.

6. Paint inner ears with Jonas African Ear Base and let dry. Then lightly speckle Dark Gold over the first color to achieve a flesh color.

7. Next, use Jonas Dark Chocolate to lightly freckle the entire inner ear. Let dry.

8. After paint is thoroughly dry, use a soft cloth to gently rub out excess paint from hair and ears. A hair dryer will help loosen paint from hair. Use a soft , slightly damp paint brush to wipe paint off eyes. Then use a Q-tip to buff until clean.

9. Using a fine-tip brush, carefully apply Jonas Clear Gloss to eyelids. Let dry. Using Clear Gloss, carefully spray nose inside and out, as well as inner ear. Be sure to cover eyes with a cloth before spraying. Hair Sheen may be used to give the mount a finishing touch.
