Marwell Zoo Zany Zebra campaign 2016 Brazilian Zebra update 08

This entry shows the Brazilian Zebra a few days on from the previous post. All of the blue and green base sections have been painted, using 3 layers of emulsion paint. The yellow areas are still mostly bear white though some progress has been made. The yellow areas near to the feet have a number of coats applied. The stars that had been masked off and covered in blue paint have now had the masking removed to reveal white stars. 
Some work was needed, as with all the masking, to repair damage to the paint when removing the masking tape, but there appears no way around that and it still gives a better finish. The areas have to be masked off a few times on either side of the edge, depending on what part is to be painted so there is a lot of work involved in masking but the painting is quite quick to compensate.
As can be seen there are a few stars on the muzzle and 'spirals have been painted in to the ear area and some eyelashes put around the eyes.
