Truimphmark[TK] Posted March 9 Report Share Posted March 9 Hi guys and girls I’m helping my daughter to join the 501st UK GARRISON and I got this armour off a fellow member of the ukg and it had some yellowing (quite a lot) to the armour so looked in to doing the options of sanding down painting, but I haven’t got a time, so I looked on the Internet and looked on the forums and found the Trooperbay do a trooper white Gloop to bring back your whiteness of your armour so I tested a piece on a shoulder bell to see how it went. I was quite happy with it. Then I done the whole armour and I’m very happy with it and so is my daughter will be 18years old in a few days so she will become a member of the UKG. So here is the out come a few people have said that the armour may/will go back to yellowing as it abs. I also purchased a lid from imperial surplus which came yesterday so I knocked it up. Still have to boots to sort out and the blaster but I just may know someone who does them if you know me you’re know hahaha Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Pro 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gmrhodes13[Staff] Posted March 12 Report Share Posted March 12 A trick when using masking tape is to paint white first, that way if there is any bleed only white shows 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Truimphmark[TK] Posted March 13 Author Report Share Posted March 13 Noted TBH the bleeds were minimal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sly11[Admin] Posted March 13 Report Share Posted March 13 I would agree on FROGTAPE, I use it myself. It has some glue tech or Paint Block as their patent states, that seals the edge so you don't get bleeds. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Truimphmark[TK] Posted March 15 Author Report Share Posted March 15 Yeah I’ve used the frog tape I found I had as many bleeds as I had with the standard masking tape I must admit the blue tape worked really well the only reason had big roll of this blue masking tape as I 3d printed a rogue one lid and used it to under lay the tube stripes;) 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FN1313[501st] Posted Thursday at 12:12 AM Report Share Posted Thursday at 12:12 AM My experience with frog tape is I had bleeds. I personally haven’t found much difference between blue tape and frog tape.Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
