I would love to purchase some tentacles-in-a-pot, but could you actually do some that arent painted at all? I perfer the soft look of the polymer to the gloss look of the paint.
I just posted on your previous entry about using latex gloves, not realizing you were completely through with this enamel. Still, might be handy for your next paint.
I thought about it (we have a box of them here), but my work is so tiny that even those super-tight gloves still have too many wrinkles and flops in them and they get in the way.
If there's an art supply shop near you, they should have several ranges of acrylic metallic paints, any of which should be suitable for polymer clay.
One I visited recently had a large sign produced by the staff noting that a particular brand was much favoured by poly clay users, which implies that it's a good-sized market and the staff at any decent art store should know the best brands to use. (Although I bought a jar of the recommended paint, it's at my studio rather than my home, so I can't tell you the specific brand.)
I don't know of any paint, but could you seal the clay with something and then use the enamel, or paint it with acrylic and then use a gloss varnish over the top?

But it's a moot point now, anyway ;)
