Treg Posted February 5, 2011 Report Share Posted February 5, 2011 I have been looking through different threads on paints and I am going to get decals for most of the helmet but will have to paint the ears and frown and was wondering will any black and gray paint work? (i am looking at lacquer based paints) and is painting with a brush or spraying it on better? Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TrooperVenger Posted February 5, 2011 Report Share Posted February 5, 2011 Humbrol #5 for the grey ears. Use a small brush. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TK_LEPER Posted February 6, 2011 Report Share Posted February 6, 2011 I mask them of with painters tape, and spray them with Rustoleum's Smoke Grey. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amptrooper Posted February 6, 2011 Report Share Posted February 6, 2011 Well, there are stickers you can buy but it has been my experience that they start to come off with use and with all the weather we get in. Even the best stickers do. Hand painting looks great with a nice steady hand. If you don't have a good hand then I would mask it off and do it that way. Also, don't forget the big blue stripe on the right side! LOL! Just kidding! Well, unless you want to go TKC! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pandatrooper[TK] Posted February 6, 2011 Report Share Posted February 6, 2011 This guide should help you ----- I use a brush and Testors model master paints / 1130 grey. I don't use Humbrols anymore due to consistency and poor quality. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
