Here is part 2. It is the fastest way to paint the Stands using the cheapest items possible. Most of you do not have all the brushes and assorted tools I have kicking around my work desk, nor do you wish to spend $4.99 a bottle for Citadel paint (even though it is the best paint you could use for the job), so I’ll chuck all that and start from scratch.
First let’s look at the regular items I had laying around the house. Dish washing soap, an old food container, (a brown paper bag, a pencil, scissors, shown in next picture) and my favorite toothbrush.
Stuff I purchased is as follows. From the Dollar Store I got a can of Flat Black spray paint and a package of mixed nail files. From Michaels I purchased the White, Red and Black acrylic paint ( about 59 cents a bottle) a small sponge brush ( about 39 cents) and a can of Clear Gloss ( or Flat ) acrylic spray paint ( about $6.99 it’s the most expensive item but important - don’t cheap out on this item as it is the most important thing you need).
First thing to do is cut a sheet out of the paper bag and place it over top of your Stand. Push it down so the peg pokes through.
Take the pencil and rub it sideways across the top of the paper, making an outline of the stand face on the sheet.
Put that aside and give your Stands a good scrubbing in soapy water. Use the toothbrush to get in the creases. Rinse them off and let dry.
While they are drying, cut out the No Ghost portions outlined on the paper bag sheet. This will become a painting mask later.
When the Stands are dry, spray them with the Flat Black paint. A few light coats until covered. Once dry, use a course grit nail file to sand away the Black paint from the raised portion of the Stand.
Once the Black paint is gone use the next finer grit nail file to smooth any gouges in the surface. When done it should look like a Black and White drawing.
Give the Stands another washing to get rid of any excess resin dust and dry them off
Now I’ll start to paint. I’ll use the White first. I’d like to call this “Painting with a Sledge Hammer” as the brush used is way too big for the job at hand. 
Don’t soak the sponge brush. Only use a drop of paint at a time and apply it to the side of the brush.
Daub off any extra on a left over piece of the bag. You want the brush moist, not dripping paint.
Daub, don’t brush. Go over any dark spots first. Let dry and then do the entire face of the Stand with White. The idea is to paint only the surface and leave the Black outline. That is why you don’t want to load up the brush so it’s dripping paint. 2 light coats would be better than one heavy coat of paint.
Once the White paint has dried, I’m ready for the Red. Place the brown bag paper cut out over the White Ghost section to keep it from excess Red paint.
Using the other side of the Brush, I do the Red the same way, a drop at a time.
Again, daub the paint, do not brush. The paper mask should keep the Ghost White.
Work slowly around the “No” section, moving the mask if necessary to keep the Ghost clean.
Let dry and then repeat until the Red is nice and solid looking.
Although I tried to be careful, some small splotches of Red did get on the Ghost. I’ll take the Brush and cut a small sliver off the back to make a touch up brush.
The small sliver of brush can be loaded up with paint to spot touch up.
I’ll rinse the sliver out and use it to touch up the Black around the edges.
I’ll let the Stand set overnight and then spray it with the Clear Acrylic tomorrow, when I’ll wrap this up..
But what is second nature for you is like doing chinese algebra to the majority of fine people in this community.
