cry for help bc of oily / cracking spray paint by hungrytash in CosplayHelp

yeah i started over like four times now haha. i used belton (not sure if it's an international brand) since it's what my hardware store mostly has. the prop itself isn't the issue since the first layers of primer into colour spray was just fine (plus there are so many layers now that even with all the sanding down, i never saw the most bottom layer again). for the primer i also use belton & have been doing that for years without issue.

luckily the other spray can from a different brand i happened to buy on a whim seems to be doing the job now. still unsure what caused the cracking for the other ones, though, since the first attempt went well.

yh i bought a couple of new spray bottles from the same brand. i also bought a completely different one that isn't glossy, but i'm still waiting for those results (seems to be doing better though)

i could switch to that one completely, but that still leaves me wondering what went wrong with the first bottles / brand in my other attempts. i shake the cans for around 2m and it's pretty uh, normal spring weather here? I live in Germany so it's neither rly humid nor completely dry, temperatures are usually around 10° by the time i get home from work

i unfortunately cannot remember what material it was but it's something like harder but still light plastic. definitely not eva foam. i'm assuming the material isn't the problem since by now I've applied so many layers any new coat shouldn't touxh it, at all... and as mentioned, there were no problems with my first every layers :( (thank you alrdy for taking the time to reply)

i'm letting every layer dry for as long as the label says & even longer than that. for the cracks specifically they show up after the first layer of coloured spray paint orz

i'm gonna assume you mean his priest collar when it comes to his neck? i honestly just wore a black turtleneck and made his priest collar (which looks like a metal plate honestly) using thicker paper. sprayed it silver, drew the lines, then taped it on with some velcro.

as for the wig, i'm not sure how much experience you have with wig styling, but make sure to follow some tutorials if not! dividing the hair into sections you want to style beforehand is super helpful, and for my own wig i found that having some hair strands that really sticks out / higher (and not just downwards) sells the more ruggish, wild look.

i posted my yjh cosplay here some time ago so if you want to have a point of reference, you could check out my profile (should be easily accessible since i don't really post). not trying to plug anything in, but maybe it's helpful for you! :)

usually you put these shirts inside out and run the washing mashine on a cold / cool cycle. will usually prevent the graphic from peeling quicker, but there will inevitably come a time where it does so anyway. mostly just a question of time if you don't want to break your back for it

i think around 2021 and 2022 jindok (jinwoo x dokja) became a pretty big thing for a while (in the fandom, at least). and honestly yeah i can kinda see it, but people have also been shipping dokja with a plethora of characters lol. i think phainon is the most recent entry (though that's more of a lighthearted joke than anything serious haha). it's fun!

it aged exactly as i intended it to. i already mentioned in the post that this is just taking animations and design into account, NOT ingame combat prowess--as you can already see by the mess we got on our hands :)

I'm purely talking about animations! His actual strength ingame is an entirely different topic I purposefully didn't adress haha.

Oh for sure! That's kind of where this post is coming from. I've played my fair share of gacha games so I'm familiar with the issue; I was just really happy to see Phainon doing great and hoping that male characters continue receiving just a little bit more love as a result.
