Like Alt Grimlock's roof, primed & spray painted it many a time :D

EDIT* But anywhere else I would strip it.

Re: Customizing Q&A Thread

Any decent hobby shop should carry it, should be easy to find in Van.
Don't buy the stuff in Zellers, TRU, Wal-Mart.

Re: DAK's Customizing Discussion Thread

I use Loew-Cornell brushes, I buy them at Micheal's craft stores.
Prices start at $2.50 each, multi packs are a good deal as well.

Re: DAK's Customizing Discussion Thread

Cover the ball joint with a piece of masking tape :D
Repeat if necessary.
There are other ways but this might be the easiest.
If you still need spray paint help click the link in my sig.

Re: DAK's Customizing Discussion Thread

I've never used it just seen it in model car magazines/tutorials....check w/your hobby shop, it's not commonly used by TF customizers.

Re: DAK's Customizing Discussion Thread

Nope, its a coating, try "bare metal foil" from a hobby shop.
Paint won't quite get as good results but some come close.
