I haven't read all the posts in this thread because it's, like, a lot of words and stuff by other people, and I mostly like to read my own posts, but I have a question. What exactly is the point of this thread? Are you saying it's OK to paint a tiki, but only if you use lead based paint, so it's authentic to the 50's? Are there some type of competing interests, here, trying to control the paint type - a purist lead-based group and a latex fetish faction? Who's in charge, anyway? Has anyone on here ever talked about this, before? I'm kinda new, here... someone please tell me what was said. I don't claim to be an expert , but I once painted a chainsaw carving of Yosemite Sam with latex enamel. I know it wasn't a tiki, per se, but it had more tiki vibe than a ukulele.
