Here is the start of my first attempt at customizing something. Big ups to CIAD for the hot tips.
The WOLF visually was in somewhat rough shape, but structurally it is solid so I thought I'd paint it. I took off the stickers and got as much of the residue off as I could (soap and hot water, rubbing alcohol, etc.). I cleaned it and took it apart. I went and purchased my supplies last night.
Gray primer, silver aluminum paint, flat black paint, and the clear matte finish
About an hour ago I primed every piece except the 2 canopies. I plan on painting the body, 2 treads, and 2 wheels with the flat black. The 4 missiles, 2 torpedoes, front ski, 2 side skis, roof gun, and the main bottom piece with the seats will be painted with the silver aluminum. I looked for a red/orange that would be close to the Night Force color, but no such luck so I thought the silver aluminum was the next best choice out of the navy blues, greens, and other meh colors. I'm going to let it dry overnight and do some painting tomorrow.
Thoughts?
