Sculpey requires no painting, but a glossy finish can be achieved by applying liquid acrylic glaze. Sculpey also comes in sets of 10 and 30 colors, and Creative Clay Sets that contain 6 colors and instructions for making a given project such as "Desert Dwellin' Reptiles", "Rain Forest Frogs", or "Alien Dudes". Made in USA. The Art Box carries sets and open stock.
