SKUTCH[TK] Posted December 2, 2011 Report Share Posted December 2, 2011 (edited) Hey guys, I have a beautiful TE2 helmet and I want to paint my new armor to match the helmet. Does anyone know how to contact him so I can find out the exact white paint he uses on the helmets? It would be unbelievably helpful as I am nervous about painting and would like the colors to match. Thanks skutch TD/TK/CT/TB-2243 td2243@gmail.com Edited December 2, 2011 by SKUTCH Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tkrestonva[TK] Posted December 2, 2011 Report Share Posted December 2, 2011 I would contact someone at the Pacific Outpost and ask them. We have a few of them who are regulars here, but Femtrooper Julie comes to mind first. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Femtrooper Julie[501st] Posted December 2, 2011 Report Share Posted December 2, 2011 Daetrin built an armor set with TE2 though, maybe he knows the paint? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dashrazor Posted December 3, 2011 Report Share Posted December 3, 2011 (edited) you could just bring the helmet with you to the paint store and eyeball it. but if i remember correctly, most people painted the TE2 with rustolium gloss enamel or high performance enamel ----------- another option would be to bring the helmet to an auto body paint store and have them make you up a few cans of color matched paint. my local auto shop can do this for around 11$ a can. its a bit pricey but the colors are matched very close.

Hmm. Is it spray paint or would I need some sort of air compressor spray gun to apply it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dashrazor Posted December 3, 2011 Report Share Posted December 3, 2011 my local auto-body shop mixes both. spray-paint cans or regular cans for air guns Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Femtrooper Julie[501st] Posted December 3, 2011 Report Share Posted December 3, 2011 He has been fairly out of touch with the Outpost, certainly a busy guy. No response yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TK-4510[TK] Posted December 3, 2011 Report Share Posted December 3, 2011 Probably Rustoleum High Performance Gloss White - If its pretty glossy OR Krylon Gloss White - If its less glossy Does it say TK-4510 in it anywhere?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SKUTCH[TK] Posted December 3, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 3, 2011 No, Mike didn't assemble this one. I believe TE2 did. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
