Ok, I made a custom Sgt Slaughter and it looks pretty good.
Now, I was able to get my hands on an extra Triple T Tank that I want to repaint and modernize a bit. What kind or brand of paint can anyone suggest. I'm thinking spray paints. oh, and would one of the sticker repro sites have a set for the Tank?

I would suggest using Krylon Fusion. Wal Mart carries it. I used it to make a Crimson Hiss Tank way back when the 1st Target Blue Version came out. Get even coats and apply it a little at a time. Fast motion with only a little coverage at a time works best. If you try to put on too much at once it will glob up.
Lowes has some "plastics spray paint". I bought some but havent had a chance to try it yet. |

Tamiya spray paints are a lot smoother that Krylon Fusion, but it is more expensive. I do use both.

Biggest factor in spray paint quality is proper technique & environmental conditions.
If you have those on your side then worry about brands http://www.hisstank.com/forum/g-i-jo...-tutorial.html ^

Well, it shouldnt cost too much.
I took the Tank apart and narrowed it down to 3 basic colors. army green, white, and gray. Perhaps gun metal... but, I'm also considering making it look as realistic as a loony vehicle like this could look. maybe giving it a new joystick/steering handle. One that looks like a plane joystick. any word on reproduction stickers?
