Echo[TK] Posted March 18, 2013 Report Share Posted March 18, 2013 Hi, I searched through the threads and I'm sorry if its an obvious place... Is the vocoder painted flat black or the same gloss as the stripes on the helmet? What about the mic tips? Same gloss or flat?

Locitus[Admin] Posted March 18, 2013 Report Share Posted March 18, 2013 I prefer satin on the vocoder, but many use gloss. The mic tips I would say flat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Echo[TK] Posted March 18, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 18, 2013 Cool, was thinking satin would be nice. Dumb question, do they make satin enamels? Or is it some other type of paint? Sent using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Locitus[Admin] Posted March 18, 2013 Report Share Posted March 18, 2013 Yeah, there is a satin humbrol enamel. I don't have the number in my head, but I have a tin at home. It's in their standard range and should be easy to get hold of if you have a humbrol vendor somewhere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gmrhodes13[Staff] Posted March 18, 2013 Report Share Posted March 18, 2013 I do like the satin, on my blasters too, gives an new but old look if that makes sense Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tray[TK] Posted March 18, 2013 Report Share Posted March 18, 2013 I painted mine flat black with a matte clear coat over it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sskunky Posted March 18, 2013 Report Share Posted March 18, 2013 (edited) I paint mine satin black. The only place I use gloss is the pinstripe round the ears and the rank stripe on the ears. Edited March 18, 2013 by sskunky Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gazmosis[501st] Posted March 18, 2013 Report Share Posted March 18, 2013 Matte on both all the way. 2/3 testors flat with 1/3 testors gloss has always been my recipe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
