I got a box o bait ponies frim ebay. I prefer to restore damaged ponies, but this one had a lot I couldn't undo. I am still uncertain as to the identity of this pony. It was either Sunlight or UK Confetti. The original colour of her eyes seems to be lilac, and she has stripe division notches in her hair line.
She seems to have been dyed, either once or twice. The white paint on her legs was textured and took hours to remove. The symbol seems to have been dyed into the plastic and neither acetone nor alcohol would remove it.
My usual hot water treatment for removing paint resulted in large plasticky bubbles. They popped like bubble wrap! Under this paint, her legs were paler.
This is Thistledown in her current state. The uneven dye job made me think of dapple greys, and the purple eyes made me think of thistles. The flower of my country.
Hope you guys like her
