what type of paint is used to paint a hobby horse?
I have a hobby horse and would like to paint it to look like a carousel horse, but, I don't know what type of paint to use
Sand it thoroughly. Prime it with an alkyd (thins with mineral spirits) primer designed for the surface you're going over; use wood primer over wood, metal primer over metal. Paint it with alkyd paints.
Alkyd paints tend to dry harder than latex, and therefore tend to be more durable. There are also some amazingly heavy duty latex paints, and if you call around to your local paint stores, they might have some, or they might just claim to have a paint that is amazing when it really isn't, but on average unless you really want to put some effort into doing some research, alkyd enamels are your best bet. It's also more traditional for a carousel horse.
For the carousel look, you'll probably want to go with a high gloss enamel, which is good because high gloss paints tend to be more durable.
