I want to paint those big sleigh bells with acrylic paint but i want them to have a shiney finish and I don't know what I could use because I thought the finish would make the other paint blur?? Any idea on what a good paint combination would be?

Enamel paint...the kind used to paint plastic models. Also,the craft stores now have liquid paints that are formulated for metal and have a glossy finish.

Easy, get you some clear acrylic sealer spray. Paint your design with acrylic paint and let it dry well. Put a few thin coats on and you will have your shine and protection. You also will not have to worry about a blur if you do a few thin coats.

Hi!
Krylon sprays work really well over acrylic as well as as Liquitex brush on mediums. Both of these products are available in matte or glossy. I know there are are others but these are the two I personally use with great results. Hope this helps.

Let your paint completely dry and spray with a gloss fixative . You can buy the spray from any craft or paint store.
