Hi tankers well this is my first major painted custom. I know it kinda sucks. I was having a lot of trouble with the joint areas. Its like no matter how much I file off it still rubs the paint off. well enjoy I might try to tune it up later. any one have any idea what is the easiest way to keep the joints from scraping.

congrats on the first paint job... there's a lot of small areas there that came out well (like the straps on the left calf)...

I think it turned out well. I like the color choice. I've had good luck with using a small dab of super glue to prevent paint wear, especially on the back of the knees. You just have to be careful that the glue doesn't run down into the joint.

It's still a good effort. I've had the same kind of trouble with paint chipping off on some of my customs too. Green is good, black is better though. ;)
