Shooter762[TK] Posted September 20, 2018 Report Share Posted September 20, 2018 Hi fellow troopers, I have to do some repairs on my armor that will require sanding and repainting in some areas. What brand and shade of white spray paint is a good match for RS propmasters armor? Thanks, Paul Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rat[TK] Posted September 20, 2018 Report Share Posted September 20, 2018 Question is this for the armor itself or the bucket and why would you need to paint it?Sent from my VK815 using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CableGuy[Admin] Posted September 20, 2018 Report Share Posted September 20, 2018 Hi Paul,RS Propmasters don’t usually paint the lids or armour. They supply it as white plastic. The original screen used armour was also white plastic - only the original stunt helmets were painted. Perhaps you could post some pictures of the damage and we can see what suggestions we could make. Best wishesDan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CableGuy[Admin] Posted September 20, 2018 Report Share Posted September 20, 2018 Shouldn’t need to paint it, Paul. Assuming you used white abs paste. Have you checked out other ABS paste repairs in other threads? Got any pictures? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rat[TK] Posted September 20, 2018 Report Share Posted September 20, 2018 Like Dan said you shouldn't have to paint, so long as you used scraps from your kit it should be a perfect match. After sanding just polish and it should be good.Sent from my VK815 using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
