I'm sure you know this process, but here it is for those that don't:
-super glue break into place....make sure it's PERFECTLY lined up....this is VERY important.
-get apoxie sculpt mix a small amount of A & B parts and fill the seam.
-then wet your figure and smooth the apoxie sculpt perfectly into the seam and remove any excess. think "wet sanding". this small amount fills in the cracked paint from the break. remove excess and make sure the pieces perfectly blend together, you will not be able to do much dry sanding here...so make sure it's ALL DONE in the "wet sanding" stage.
-after 3-4 hours of dry time ready to paint. mix 2-3 colors of acrylic paint to match color or broken part/
-paint in
THIN layers, and hit with blow dryer inbetween coats. build up paint slowly, no globs or clumps. this can be a little tedious and takes trial and error, you may have to continuously tweak you paint mixture as retro-fitting and matching paint something isnt the mixture you first think. this will take about 3-5 layers...at least.
-after paint is done then get a sealer Mod-Podge semi gloss and paint it over the painted area to match the finish of the undamaged statue.
....you should be all set!
