Painting might not be as sexy looking as shiny molded eyes or whatever. But molded eyes are a pain to epoxy over. Paint forms to the shape of the head, and looks pretty decent when you get the sheen of the epoxy over it. Plus again, they're pike. They don't need much more convincing after they see something move. 99% of the time, it's dead meat.

what size eyes do you use?

I usually paint my eyes on before I epoxy the head. I use a larger finishing nails head for the white and a small one for the black pupil.
