Here is a gallery of my repaints. I use acrylic craft paint, watered down just a bit. I do not remove Gene's original paint, I simply paint over it. I then seal the paint with a basic acrylic sealer. The one area I have trouble with is the eyeshadow area. I really do not like the purple/gray color that is used, but I have not been successful with achieving a good flesh color with which to cover the eyeshadow. If anyone has any tips they would like to share, I would love to receive them! Send your tips to gene_marshall.com.

 

  This is Pinup Gene, dressed in Gold Sensation:

  I gave her dark, dark blue eyes, vivid black eyebrows, and bright red lipcolor.

  I centered her grey eyes more directly in the middle and made them round, which gives her a more 'open' expression.

 

 

 

 

 

 

  This is Garden Party Gene dressed in Midsummer Magic:

  I made her eyes a warm brown, and gave her a muted rose lipcolor.
This is almost the exact same image I have of a picture of my mother dressed in her WAF uniform. The only major difference is the hat emblem, which is Navy for the doll, and my mother's is Air Force.

 

 

 

 

 

  She's Gotta Dance:

Since this doll is a blonde, I went with emerald green eyes, and light brown eyebrows.

I decided that this one would be unusual, so I gave her beautiful purple eyes!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

  USO:

I modeled USO after my sister, who also has red hair. My sister's eyes are mostly light blue.

  However, the left eye has a pie-shaped section that is brown. Image of USO's eyes

This was one of my first repaints. The paint job isn't so good, but I love this doll's haircolor!
