White spray paint for ATA armor.

[Harrt046]

Hi all. Due to my massive thighs, I've been forced to add shims to my thigh armor. I tried using abs goop to blend the shims in, but I can't seem ti get it smooth enough afterward do that you can't notice. My next step will probably to get some apoxie sculpt and smooth everything out. I'll need to paint it after to blend it all together so long story for this question:<br><br>

What paint most closely matches ATA armor?

That is a tough one. I would expect any pure white gloss to work, but if you really want it to be absolutely indistinguishable just take it to your local paint store or supermarket and bring a bit of the abs cover strip with you and ask them to color match it

I used acrylic automotive gloss white on my TFA armor and was very surprised how it matches my ATA OT armor

What brand did you use?

For anyone who comes across this post in the future, Terrell said that Rustoleum pro enamel gloss white is the closest match

Any suggestions on what to buy if i want to spray paint my latex handguards to match my ATA?

[Harrt046]

For latex you're going to want to use latex paint. I just got a sample batch from home depot

Use spray can plastidip on the hand guards.

I'm planning to paint my whole ATA armor, cause getting yellow. Question : do I have to sanded all over the armor first?

Did you use Rustoleum? If so, you should use it again to avoid a bad reaction. I suggest rubbing it down with vinegar first. 

 

Next time use Krylon.
