I attached them before.
Thanks! I went ahead and put my staff base together, then painted the pieces separately (before attaching). Hopefully that will work OK and I can do touch up later. Haven't attached as it's a 24 hr full dry time.
Love your silver then black approach! Wish I'd thought of that. Can always go over it later I suppose with silver touches.
This worked perfectly for priming, and was only $5.99 at Hobby Lobby (even works on PVC): http://www.krylon.com/products/colormaster-plastic-primer/
Then I used a double black matte from Amazon - Rustoleum brand, $12ish: http://www.rustoleum.com/product-catalog/consumer-brands/painters-touch-ultra-cover-2x/matte
Everything is sprayed black, so I'll post pics later! I'm at work for the day now...
Managed to dye the silk knit with no problem. They're a little green, but so are her pants I guess. I don't know what happened as they are quite different from the test strip I did with the same ratio of dye - those were more brown. I hope they will work! My mom did a great job sewing. To anyone thinking of using the silk knit, it's a pain in the you-know. Jammed my mom's machine multiple times. I'm just lucky she lives nearby and was willing to take on the challenge!
Edit: I used ~1tsp safari grey and ~1/2tsp ecru in a 1.5gal bath.
