How to paint your Shellax figure

Every Shellax figure starts out white and unpainted. This allows you to design it exactly as it suits you, your shelf, or your gift.

1. Prepare the figure

Get your figure, paints, brushes or markers ready. The surface should be clean and dry.

2. Apply base colors

Start with larger areas such as the shell, body, or accessories. Thin layers of paint usually look cleaner than one thick layer.

3. Add details

Once the base color is dry, you can add small details: eyes, patterns, highlights, or personal touches.

4. Let it dry

Let your figure dry thoroughly before touching it or applying further coats.

5. Optional protection

A clear protective varnish can help keep the painted surface looking good for longer.

This is how a white Shellax figure becomes your very own character.
