Advice on a model repaint

Post #1 by Renaultman » Thu Jan 31, 2013 9:24 pm

Hello, I'm in a bit of a pickle and need your help. I bought an NZG CAT D9R special edition in Silver. Its missing the exhaust and the paint work isn't the best. Now, do I keep in in Silver or repaint in another colour?

Question and a half there because metallic paints are a pain to get right at the best of times, at least the missing zorst can easily be replaced by making another out of plastic and painting it black. :think:
