Question is this for the armor itself or the bucket and why would you need to paint it?

It's in the armor. There is a big split in the armor on the back of the thigh. I repaired it with ABS paste and need to sand it smooth and finish it with paint.

Hi fellow troopers,
I have to do some repairs on my armor that will require sanding and repainting in some areas. What brand and shade of white spray paint is a good match for RS propmasters armor?
Thanks,
Paul

Here are some updated pics of the ab to kidney plate gaps. I managed to tighten them upl. They are now much more aligned and closed up.

Hi Paul, thanks for persevering with uploading your images and also your patience.
Tony and I are just catching up on the apps, so while you wait, we are going to ask you to fix up a couple of minor things to tidy up your application.
Your fellow troopers have mentioned both the gaps between your shoulder bells and the plastic bridges, and the side gaps between your Kidney and Ab plates.
Both of these will need to be brought in., so shorten the top straps on the shoulder Bells if you can.
The gaps in your mid section need to be no more than 1/2 " on both sides. At the moment you ave basically no gap on the rivet side ( Ideal on both sides for Centurion) and a large gap on the opposite side.
I think if you let the straps out on the rivet side , you should be able to get both gaps to the 1/2". (This one is part of the EI CRL and will definitely need addressing)
One last item, you will need to remove the white pant from the cod rivet, as it should not be painted.
Please post up a couple of new photos when done.
Hi Andrew,
Thanks for the advise. I want be the best trooper I can be and also look the part. I am working on those gaps! I will also remove the paint from the cod rivet and post some updated pics.

Looks good, and well on your way on becoming EIB. I only see the Ab/Kidney as well. They indeed may ask you to tighten up the gap. Other then that, You should be able to obtain that EIB! Good Luck Trooper!
Thank you very much for the advice. I will indeed work on tightening up the gap.

Hey Paul! Just off the top I see you’ll need to close the gap between your shoulder bells and shoulder straps. That’s easy enough of a fix though
Sent from my iPhone using TapatalkThanks, I will work the tightening up the gap.

You should upload to a site like imgur and post links to your pics instead of uploading straight to the forum. I know there was a post about how to do it, but I can't find it at the moment.
Thanks for the tip. I found Cubeupload to upload my pics and then post the links to the forum. It works!

Hi guys,
I managed to upload a few more pics. Now I get a message that says I can only upload 40.96 kb? I have quite a few more pics to upload. What do I need to do to get them uploaded?

Hi guys,
I am attempting to upload the required pics and I keep getting a message that says I can only upload 634.88 kb. I have resized my pics to much less than this and I keep getting this message. The forum is not allowing me to attach the required pics even though they are 100 to 260 kb each which is much less than 634.88 kb each. What do I need to do to attach more pics?
I have tried backing out of my post and then going back into it and now I get a message that says I can only upload 30.72 kb? I'm confused?

Posted · Edited by Shooter762
I used white ABS scraps but not from my build. The paste is a brighter shade of white. I will post some pics.
