    Bringing a zombie back to life.

    Got a near mint Invisible Girl But she had a zombie head. Haven't done this in years.
    finding the plasti dip took longer than I remember. I could only find black (black won't work).
    Over paid got red off amazon but it worked. She looks great.

        Well done!

        My attempts in the past yielded the heads going to back to zombie state after a few years. Hopefully yours doesn't. Looks perfect.

          One thing I do differently is I put the tirewet on a rag and wipe it on the head. And for the heads with hair you need a paint brush to paint the plasti dip on.

            That's really amazing! Great work, especially with keeping it off of the hair.

              I think it's harder to find the plasti-dip that's not the spray can nowadays. That's all they had at my local hard wear stores

                    Looks great, and you got better results than I ever did with my Mr. Fantastic and Luke Duke. It did help, but they soon regressed to their flesh-eating ways.
