Ti4889

i appreciate all the comments and opinions........ i plan to go thru and add more heavy grime build up to the corners, divits, ect...... ya'll think i made a mistake sanding down the armor with 600 grit paper before i started this?......it dulled down the plastic SIGNIFIGANTLY .....and i think it looks good , but several of the local guys say its wayyyyy too flat....and it should be shiny under the dirt.....

im 36 ......

sorry , got distracted due to work......yes thats what i used for the teardrops/trap's, testors flat black , then gunmetal grey.......to dirty the armor i used......from walmart craft section....."apple barrel colors" # 20778 - country tan craft paint........by PLAID ...comes in 2 oz bottles up to 1 pint.....bar code was 028995207785 ......its permanent , fast drying, and waterbased......cool thing is if ya mess up....ya wash it down and start over again......then when ya have the look ya want, ya just clear coat it ( dull coat) ........cheap , easy and very effective.....
