Question For Paint Experts....

[JehdinThwei]

So I have this Bio Helmet collection, and unfortunately they collect dust while hanging on my wall.
The method of paint is:
Washing item.
Aeresol primer
Sponge painting acrylic paints (water based)
2 layers of matte clear coat.

The question is this: Can I take a wet cloth to these to clean them without any problem, or am I better off using compressed air cans or a dry cloth?

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

I'm not a paint expert Bill, but I usually just use a soft bristled paint brush to dust my collectibles.

After clear coating I take a lightly damp fine cloth and wipe them off when they get dusty. Haven't had any issue what so ever.

Once clear coat is on there shouldn't be an issue with wiping them down at all.  I typically do this with an old cotton tshirt.  I'll sometimes even use a spritz of of water or windex.  Like Reyals I use a brush as well.  Whatever you choose I think you're good to go.

...just don't use your dirty undergarments. Might make the Bio smell a little funny. 

Bill, 

Now on to the Hot Toys.

Oh what fun! The smaller collectibles take a lot of attention.

Damned dust, building up on things all the time! Why can't it just lay on everything but our collectibles?

I know, right? I want to put them under glass, but then they couldn't scare (or freak out, more likely) everyone who walks into my living room, kitchen, bathroom, bedroom, etc LOL.

For delicate or precious stuff I usually use a slightly damp cloth or a dry cloth. When using a damp cloth and your afraid of taking the paint of something just lightly touch the cloth to the item, this way the dust should stick to the cloth while the paint is not effected.   . I'm no expert but I do do an awefull lot of painting and art.
