Arco painted ties

[RBH]

So I think I have found why so many horse head ties end up on E Bay.

Pretty neat.

 

[Baron Kurtz]

That's very cool!

 

[Feraud]

Yes that is very cool. Any idea of the type of paint used?

 

[RBH]

No idea, but here are a few more photos from the site.

That's wild. Do you know if an actual unpainted tie is still with the set?

The paint appears to be oil-based from the instructions stating the use of mineral spirits, but I'd be interested to know the exact type. With that, I'd also like to know where the NOS box of unpainted ties are.

 

[Two Types]

Wonderful.

 

[RBH]

Yes, there is one left in the box.
