GM Chest Plate Colour

[toontrooper]

Sorry I haven't posted for a while, but I thought it was about time to get my armour sorted.

I got my chest plate the other week and I know this has been discussed before, but what colour have you used on your own chest plates and what spray would you recommend.

Also after talking to some friends who have down clone armour, they've told me that slightly sanding down the surface works best before spraying, what do you guys suggest?

Thanks for that, I presume you can spray straight on to the plastic with that?

I used claret wine on mine.

Start with a primer, then used silver (the non glittery kind, to help with the battle damage). Then 2 coats of the wind color. Finished off by sanding part to get some weathering.

Does anyone know a website that will ship Rust-Oleum's Claret Wine to the UK, since every site I come across won't ship it outside the USA.

No idea, but I will check and let you kniow if I find some place.

Thanks for that.
