Instead of Micheals try A.C. Moore the gesso will be in the fine art area with the paints ( Acrylic, Oil and watercolor etc.) the Film will be in the airbrush section they sell Badger brand. If you don't have an A.C. Moore in your area try Dick Blicks online or any other art supply. If you covering old graphics gesso might be the better way to go because it's very opaque. |

Thanks to all for suggestions and info. Walmart is here in Canada and so is A.C. Moore(pretty sure). Really helpful!Thanks santacruzskater for letting me jump in on your thread and ask the questions. |

| Oh yeah.. Also when apllying gesso... Use a SPONGE brush.. Don't use a regular bristled brush.. It leaves bristle lines in the gesso.. Also there's the problem of bristles coming out and getting stuck in the paint.. |
