TD-1536 Posted February 6, 2008 Share Posted February 6, 2008 I did paint the black ear details later, so no, they're not just gray. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ED209 Posted February 7, 2008 Share Posted February 7, 2008 Which gray is best to use? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TD-1536 Posted February 7, 2008 Share Posted February 7, 2008 Which gray is best to use? would you believe that as long as I've been doing this I've never used the correct Humbrol colors? Nope. For the gray, I've been using Rustoleum Smoke Gray in a rattle can. I would spray it out thick onto something to throw away like a paper plate, then brush it on by hand. It's a really thick enamel that does not retain brush marks and goes on smooth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freakengine Posted February 7, 2008 Share Posted February 7, 2008 would you believe that as long as I've been doing this I've never used the correct Humbrol colors? Nope. I use Testors 1138 and I honestly don't see a significant difference between it and the Humbrol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EDLITMUS Posted February 7, 2008 Share Posted February 7, 2008 I use the Testors 1138 also. Just because of the 1138. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TD9323 Posted February 19, 2008 Share Posted February 19, 2008 I was getting ready to paint the traps on my helmet when I discovered 99% isopropyl alcohol removes the black lines. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
