I used a gloss paint from Ace. It was a dark grey, Then I used more spray paint, a darker grey. This will make part of the camo. I then used a aircraft grey, very light for stream lines that you will notice on pictures.

Jake, Your non-standard English notwithstanding, the following is submitted. By now you have noticed the fuselage colors are blended colors. I have cross-referenced those, and most of the other colors, to Humbrol (UK) colors. They are as follows: Leading Edges & radome - 127, Base color - 126 and the Pattern color - 125. You can find these cross-reference charts on-line and Fed Std colors as well.

Sorry but I haven't even installed ours yet due to the deep freeze/snow. I would assume that if you contacted a paint professional or paint store they would have a specific type of paint for this type of purpose.

I would think a light coat of spray paint would be fine. Mine is under the plastic of my center console and works fine, so paint shouldn't matter. As long as it's not metallic or silver paint, of course.

Yes. Just make sure that you do not polish the metal. Wrie brush it or a coarse sand paper to take off the surface rust. You will need 2 coats. Pour the first one down and it will appear dull. The second coat will look the color you need. Make sure to wear the gloves and to put something down where you will be painting. This paint will leave it's mark. Good luck.

Color of my mirrors was black, so no painting necessary. It can be painted to match the color of your mirrors if they are not black.

I used black for my full size F350, it required a gallon and 1 quart. I would expect the same coverage from gray. GREAT stuff by the way!

I would prime it first if you using a light color paint. Darker colors the pine will do fine. Love love love this paint. Highly recommend it.

Yes. Up to 3 ounces of color can be added. Go to a paint store and have them treat it as a tint base.

Any spray paint will do. Pick a color you like. If you're truly concerned you can get the spray paint specifically made for plastics.

At least glue. I did not realize that the model needed this and did not give the model as a gift because the child was too young to work at this level. The model does not say what types of paints are needed. So I would have to say yes. You will need to buy the glue and some paints.

A friend and i just did a project and where able to get a bright white. I am not sure if or how much the color you will be covering impact the final outcome. Ours was a fairly light shade of tan.One note on the tintable already being white. That is what we thought as well. Shot one of the bottles before we realized it was not covering with any real color. Added the paint per instructions and achieved a great white finish.

Some painting is needed if you wanted but for the most part the model is in the colors alreadyYou could detail it if you want it to

Yes, you would just use less of the white colored mineral. There are 3 different colored mineral paints, you can use more or less of one of the colors. I was going for a grey color as well and was happy with the results.

I bought this for my husband, and he used 5 different kinds of paint black, white, brown, red, tan and copper. You have to paint by hand, because the parts are too small to spray. He also says be sure to use enamel model paint, not water based paint.

No paint touch up kit was included.Any black flat paint would work - something like rust - o - leum might be best.

Everything pretty much colored. You only need to panel line it. Add more detail to the kit.
