Paint types used
See the paint types documented in Ladda's work, with links to PaintZeal references explaining each medium's properties, uses, and working characteristics.
Vinyl Paint
Vinyl paint is a flexible specialty coating used to recolor or restore vinyl and related interior or trim surfaces. Some products contain vinyl resin, while other vinyl-and-fabric coatings use different flexible binders and adhesion systems, so the selected product should match both the material and intended exposure.
Surface types used
See the surface types documented in Ladda's work, with links to PaintZeal references explaining how each support behaves and is prepared for painting.
Cardboard
Cardboard is a paper-based sheet material made from compressed fibers, often with corrugated fluting between liner sheets. It is lightweight and absorbent, so heavy wet coats can soften or warp it.
