TK-4510[TK] Posted July 18, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 18, 2008 You can get the paint at Home Depot and I would ALWAYS primer before I paint. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
giric thren Posted July 18, 2008 Report Share Posted July 18, 2008 I was thinking of doing this with my AP, as soon as i get another one, and was wondering do you think it would look as good on ABS armor and bucket? also TK-1422 you said "the only thing I'll add is that as the armor rubs together from trooping, you will scrape through the paint" I bet that if you put some felt on the part that rubs (obviously on the inside) that my help with the scrapping Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

foggy[TK] Posted July 21, 2008 Report Share Posted July 21, 2008 This is sooooo niiiccceee. I have black armor and have been a bit shy to play with it. This may give me the impetus to dive into the box containing the toys. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I let it cure for a few days before I touch it. Weeks before I would use it. does it leave fingerprint markings on the paint, like prints not smears????? Nope. what kind of tube stripe decals did you use, and what did you do for the matte black tear ducts and other matte black ducts???? The tube stripes and decals were supplied by the guy that asked me to build it. He sent them to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
