Just finished up this Captain America Multi Purpose Vehicle, it was a crime to paint this thing the way they did so I repainted it so GI JOE could have a more appropriate ride in the field, just needs armament, but finished nonetheless, Hope you guys like it, I'll be selling all the stuff Ive done in Dec. San Jose Toy Show, if anyone's interested.

Nice stuff. Are the feet pegs Joe-friendly?

I used Rust-oleum Specialty plastic primer, it sticks to the pliable plastic these are made of, I take it compleatly apart, wash parts in warm water with scuoring pad and dishsoap, towel and blow dry it, then i primer parts, leave in sun all day, let primer set 24 hrs, then i painted using paint i got at military surplus store, "AERVOE" then back in the sun or under warm lights for few hrs, let dry for 7 days, then flat primer, bake in sun or light overnight, then assemble and weather, the longer you let paint dry the better adhesion you get, if you don't give it time it scratches off and chips easy, i see it on some Bomb can paint jobs, use powder free exam gloves so no skin oils on parts. Oh yea, store all your aerosol cans upside down so propellant doesn't leak out over time...
