Start applying the top coat. Again, regular spray paint from the hardware store works just fine on this kind of plastic. Colors used were black, white, and several shades of gray. Follow the color pattern of the primer. Legs and face should be the black, the body white, and the belly and junction of the legs should be painted gray. Once the base coats of the leg and body colors have been applied, dried and sanded lightly. Build up several coats of top coat sanding once the paint is dry between each layer. |

Now start layering on splatters of color. Apply just enough pressure to the can of spray paint so that the paint sputters out. |

Work back and forth laying down multiple layers and shades of gray and black. Take particular care in the areas where color changes. You may want to work back and forth several times where the dark legs join the lighter body color. The effect that is wanted is gradual shading, not a dipped in paint effect. Subtle shading can be added to the body and the head of the horse by alternating shades of gray, black and white spray paint. |

 Here's the final paint job, complete with complex shading, leg color that gradually changes into the lighter body color, shading on the head, body and rump. |
