TK-7980 Posted August 20, 2008 Report Share Posted August 20, 2008 I'm considering buying a very cheap Black Stormtrooper kit rather than trying to find an expensive white one and was thinking about just repainting it white? Is this possible? Or would it chip away? If it is possible, what paint would I need? (color, type, brand etc) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cr4nky Posted August 20, 2008 Report Share Posted August 20, 2008 I might be wrong, but the cheap stealthtroopers usually are black FX-armor. They come in white too, at the same price. Other than that, painting a black one white...rustoleum primer, white gloss enamel I guess. Anyone, correct me if I'm wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BactaReality Posted August 20, 2008 Report Share Posted August 20, 2008 I'd be surprised if you could'nt find an FX for the same as the black. Unless you already bought a black kit and wanted to convert it, I'd just look around for a white kit for the same price. Why not just do a shadow stormtrooper?

Runnriottt Posted August 20, 2008 Report Share Posted August 20, 2008 It would scratch and weather black... That would be cool... alot of wxtra work though.. White can be had... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TK6631[501st] Posted August 20, 2008 Report Share Posted August 20, 2008 I had a quote for FX armour that was unbelievebly cheap..it made me wonder if the FX kit is worth getting or if it's worth spending a bit more and gettting an AP set.

Daetrin[Admin] Posted August 20, 2008 Report Share Posted August 20, 2008 The only reason to ever buy FX is price. And even then then the price delta's are not as large as they used to be. Unless you're on an extremely tight budget, why get it anymore? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you can afford an AP or TE2 go with that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TK6631[501st] Posted August 20, 2008 Report Share Posted August 20, 2008 Cheers Guys, I've got a contact for AP, anyone got a contact for TE2 pricing? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TK-7980 Posted August 21, 2008 Author Report Share Posted August 21, 2008 I'd be surprised if you could'nt find an FX for the same as the black. Unless you already bought a black kit and wanted to convert it, I'd just look around for a white kit for the same price. Why not just do a shadow stormtrooper? The only kits or assembled armors that I can find relatively cheaply are the black stormtroopers. I really would like to be an original white TK. That and I'm unsure if that guy that's selling the FX lites will come through with all of the kits he needs. I'm just looking for a fairly sure fire way to get a kit. Cheaply as well.
