Can you paint over faux bronze statues?

Hi, does anybody know if you can paint over the surface of faux bronze statues? I paid for 2 faux bronze fathom statues hoping to convert one to the original colors. Thanks

Wow. That sounds like a big job.
Please do post pics when you're done.

Um...wouldn't it have been cheaper to get the original coloured one off ebay?

Why?

who would do such a thing?

Tragedy I say!

Dip that sucker in Acetone and wash away the faux! Then prime and paint away!

Never seen a FB in person so not sure how thick the paint process is, but more layer of paint may loose detail. Just a idea.

If I could paint it myself, I would do the same thing. The original painted versions are pretty high in price. I would have to pay someone to paint it so not a good idea for me.

I'm not a big fan of faux bronze, but bought the Fathom statue because I love it so much and the price point was less than the original.
