so my sister is having this masque for halloween and i've got a mask that i wanted to elaborate on...namely by painting the mask from white to black. i tried spray painting it, but because it's made from the shiny plastic, the paint wont dry and (after 1.5 days) keeps rubbing off (i kinda expected that, but thought i'd give it a try anyway). i thought that i might cover it in paper mache and then painting it after that.
#1-would paper mache actually stick to the plastic like that?
#2-what is the ratio of water/flour and should i add starch? if so, how much?
#3-got any other ideas on how to make this work? the mask i have is perfect as far as shape goes (it's a cat) but i just wanted it black...
Thanks in advance!! :)
