ImperialLoyalty342 Posted December 14, 2019 Share Posted December 14, 2019 Hello everyone. I am wanting to paint over my rs armor but I don’t know if the armor is painted or if it came white. I don’t wish to hurt the white paint underneath if there is any. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hausi Posted December 14, 2019 Share Posted December 14, 2019 Hi, may I ask why you want to paint your armor? The original screen-used armor wasn't painted, only the olive green HDPE stunt helmets were painted white. RS armor isn't painted, they offer their armor either in ABS or PVC.

ImperialLoyalty342 Posted December 14, 2019 Author Share Posted December 14, 2019 I was more thinking of the possibility of spray painting sand color or even hitting it with some sandpaper to weather it. i appreciate the answer. Would you not recommend these ways of weathering? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hausi Posted December 14, 2019 Share Posted December 14, 2019 Spraypainting sand color isn't a good idea, I've seen it done before and it didn't look right at all. Brushing on a black wash first followed by a sand colored wash and dabbing most of it off again with paper towels is the way to go to achieve the most screenaccurate finish. I also use fine grit sandpaper to roughen up the edges a bit and then rub over it with some wet or dry black and white newspaper pages.
