#dice reinking

I’m just about to start reinking then to silver, so wish me luck!!!

Oxi-Copper and Autumn by Chessex. These dice were already beautiful, but i wanted to add some metallic to the numbers

Go out and buy yourself some paint markers! You can find them in most craft stores. They last longer than other permanent markers, they’re waterproof, and they’re easy to handle. They come in limited colors and shades though, so you’ll probably still want to get some acrillic paints if you have a specific color in mind

Don’t be too nitpicky when you’re applying the color. Just use rubbing alcohol (isopropyl alcohol) on a bit of paper towel to scrub away the extra paint. It won’t hurt the dice at all

If the original paint is black, don’t try to change it to anything too light (like white). You’ll see the edges of the old color and it won’t look good

On the other hand, basically any dice can be reinked black and look fine

Before you start, check how deeply the numbers are carved into the dice. If they’re too shallow, the new paint won’t be able to completely cover the old color. d20′s are the main culprits for this, in my experience

If you don’t like the new color, drop the dice into some rubbing alcohol for a while, then scrub them with an old toothbrush to remove all the paint. This will remove everything except the original paint
