I'm a spray can kind of guy. For this project I stepped into the world of model spray paint. I used testors olive drab that I bought at Michael's, a local craft store. I was impressed with the testors spray. On my ttbp project I used krylon spray paint from Lowe's and it worked fine. The key for any is super light coats and jump around to different parts or sides.
Wish I had a hobby lobby to wander. I have no experience with an airbrush. I recommend tossing this question in the general customizing area as it is an area I'm always interested in learning more. Oh, and I don't clearcoat, but I would if I stickered them up and thought I would handle them more. I previously used Krylon Fusion. I decided to try the airbrush after failed attempts to get any paint to stick to the Retaliation 4 x 4 vehicle. I'll see what I can find in the general area.

And thanks Ruffian,
I too had one as a kid, it's actually the one pictured with my custom. I loved it as a kid. The driving position never really bothered me, but I realized that the gunners seat was ridiculous. In an odd way that seat added real playability as a kid though, allowing my Joe's to leap off and engage the enemy. Thanks again Tankers. This is my first real vehicle custom.
