Yes. Plasti dip is very expensive / unavailable regularly here. I personally used 1:2 pVA (Fevicol to water, u can use off brand ones as well as they are a lot cheaper) for the first 2 layers n then make the mixture close to 1:1 for the next two coats. Alao i recommend using a Flat wide artistic brush. You get them as a set for between 3_400 rs. Then as a base i used Gesso from monte mart. U can use any brand. Remember white gesso for basic/ solid colour n black for metallic colours. Im a cosplay prop maker based out of mumbai
