Enamel charm painting

[austin3272]

Hi all
Could someone please advise me as to what sort of paint i would need to use on my silver charms, as i'm buying alot on enamel charms and i thought i would have a go at painting them myself.

Any help welcome.

sorry i can't really help, clever idea though, would like to see some you have done ...

The only thing I can think of is to use enamel. You can get painting enamel but it has to be fired onto a first coat of enamel. You don't necessarily need a kiln as you can torch fire enamel. It can be quite tricky though if you've never done it before.

Not sure, I may be completely wrong, but I thINk you can use Sakura pens...sounds daft but I'm sure I saw someone do this on one of the channels. Can anyone confirm or tell me I'm stooopid please? I don't mind, I can take it :D Also, 'airfix' models use enamel paint don't they, in little tiny pots, would those work? (Yes I know it's late and no I haven't been on the Baileys!)
