I'd suggest a thorough understanding of chemistry and physics. You need to know trajectory and what to mix with what to get the different colors.

I do not know what color palomino is. Is it a brownish color? If it were a "rainbow" theme-you should include a red or pink and blue tone as well. Or are you specifically trying for the fall color palette? Flowers can always be painted. Do you have a favorite flower? Without knowing what type of flowers you like it is difficult to tell you which scheme to choose. Do you want the flowers to stand out or blend? I like the idea of kiwi colored flowers-just because it is unusual. Everyone else uses typical colors.  The flower girls should stand out a little bit more. The tangerine with white lace on the dresses would be a good idea. You could use some of the flowers in their hair.

Hi Manda\n\nTry putting them on a corkboard covered with green felt. Using some twist ties run threw the board. Then if you like you can put the m in a nice frame.\nJust an idea.\n\nLeon

Try the free 30 day trial d/l from Paint Shop Pro by Corel.  It has a great Help section.  It is easy to use and does a lot more than most program for a resonable price.\nhttp://www.corel.com/servlet/Satellite?pagename=CorelCom/Layout&c=Product_C1&cid=1152105040688&lc=en\nE

I saw a very cute French room that was pink and black.  Really I think it depends on the things you have to work with.  I started a French room once, and I had some things that were black and red, so that's what I painted the rest.

mix the two, if that doesn't work try using a paint scraper to scrape the paint off manually.

I would suggest purchasing this fine model listed in the below source, if you have the money to do so (the painted plastic one, first one listed).  It is a bit expensive, but it is really the best I know of since it actually shows all the atoms and is quite accurate.  It comes with instructions and even tells you how to paint it.  I actually teach with this exact model.  If you don't have money to purchase that model, it is possible to make it yourself using your own materials, but I would use the photos of this model as a guide to how to go about doing it.  It really depends on what you need it for and how detailed you need it to be.

The best way would be to take the keys off (they pop off and on easily) and then tape up the space where the keys go. Clean and lightly sand the base to prime it, then spray paint your favorite color. Then spray paint the keys with several coats to ensure it won't rub off (letting dry completely after each coat). Once dry, pop the keys back on.

Get two plastic bottles and paint one black and the other white.  Put one of those liquid crystal temperature strips on each one to easily monitor the temperature and fill them each with boiling water.  Screw on the lids and you should see that the black painted bottle cools down faster than the white one.

Strip it down to bare metal. If it looks good, leave it like that. If it looks bad, repaint it.

It will entirely depend on what areas of the model are going to be out of reach of the paint brush and also what areas you don't care whether they are painted or not.\n\nPlan out the pieces and decide. For example, if you were to paint a 3D model of a human soldier that comes with a shield that crosses his chest, decide if you want the inside of the shield painted or not. Also, decide if you want to paint the chest area behind the shield BEFORE you permanently attach the shield.\n\nThe more you allow yourself to paint AFTER assembly, the faster the job will get done but with the possible sacrifice of detail.\n\n-TGW-

usually metals are used to color the compounds. Look at glass blowing webites its similar in the construction. There are also salts that can be used.
