Professionally restored by RubieMae of Forget Me Not Dolls.
When restoring a composition doll, I remove all the old, cracked, lead based paint, then I fill and sand multiple times to get a satin smooth finish. Then I prime and sand 2-3X more before airbrushing the final two coats of skin tone. An oil based paint is used to get the same look as was original to the doll. Then hair and blush are airbrushed before hand painting the lashes, brows, and lips.
I do not offer a refund or exchange. Please study the detailed pictures as they are an important part of the description.
