This is my goddaughters toy plastic horse bound for the trash. I asked her if wanted me to make it into wall art for her. First I washed and sanded the horse. Washed again. Let dry completely. Next I spray painted with Rust-Oleum Camouflage Ultra Flat black paint that BONDS to plastic. After that I let the paint do it's bonding thing for 2 weeks. Finally I got to the fun part. I painted with a paint brush two coats of teal acrylic paint. First coat cheap craft paint. Second coat expensive Golden brand pro paint. Then I painted a coat of Golden paint called Interference Blue. What this does is gives anything you paint the shimmer of butterfly wings. Next I used a product called Rub'nBuff. The color I used was Silver Leaf to add a few accents. Last I used the strongest glue that I have found for doing crafts E6000 to glue a wire back.

Here is the before and after.
