kevcofett Posted April 11, 2016 Share Posted April 11, 2016 Hi all, I am working on a sandy, made from ATA HIPS 2010 armor. Question is, do I need to paint the body of the armor, and do I need to paint the helmet with gloss? I figure since the TD's are weathered anyways, I may not need to paint the body at least, and maybe would do the helmet in something other than gloss? Any guidance is super appreciated and happy trooping! Kevcofett Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baron Posted April 12, 2016 Share Posted April 12, 2016 While mine is ABS, you should be able to go straight with acrylic paint. Unless it is super dull white, I would not waste the time painting it just to dirty it up. And I highly recommend acrylic paint over fullers earth.

pandatrooper Posted April 16, 2016 Share Posted April 16, 2016 Check my build thread, I have the exact same armor. http://forum.mepd.net/?showtopic=6775 I just buffed the helmet to add a little sheen and did some other parts on the high spots, but after that I just went straight to weathering.
