Ah! Congrats dude! This is amazing! Did they decide on using just TK still, or are they adding a TKE or TKJ? or something?

It's still a standard TK, just means I have 6 TK's now

That's a handsome mug shot you got there!

 

On your black, did you seal it all with a gloss clear coat? Or how did you end up sealing the different finishes of paint?

Everything is first painted white, then clear coated, left for a few days to dry, then masked up, then 3 coats of matte paint applied and you are done.

 

I do use different paint to most others, I can't stand Rustoleum or Krylon so I use acrylic automotive paint, dries quicker, less orange peel and is tougher and can be buffed and polished.

 

The matte is going to be a pain, I noticed I have to wear soft cotton gloves while attaching pieces or you get left with greasy finger prints everywhere

I've been thinking about getting my armor automotive painted, so I get where you are coming from.

 

So with the matte you just left it bare? No clear coating there? Would you consider applying a matte clear over it before you unmask it? Just thinking that lots of my friends and garrison members will be handling it so the sturdier the better haha

You could use a matte clear, I didn't as I couldn't get any locally but I have some ordered and it's on the way, just means a re-mask but that won't take long, there's not that many pieces .
