[JetSet]

What are you painting it with?

[Darth Vane]

oil based Gloss Black Rust-oleum protective enamel.
we picked up a small can of at at target. and we are painting it with model brushes.

Ya know you could paint the whole thing then when your done take some wet sand paper and sand the excess off, would be alot easier than painstakenly little by little with a brush.

wish i would have known that before we started lol. oh well thanks for the advice i will remember that for future projects. i am going to add a second coat to the emitter today and try and get more done for the gripp. will post with finished painting when done.
