TIPS & TRICKS ON PAINTING THE M1A1 FLYING RC TANK

PHASE 2

I purchased a Husky Multin Spray Gun (USA SKU: 515-623) from Home Depot for under $60.00. I when to my local paint store Janovic/Plaza. I explained to the sales rep ABA my new project of the M1A1 flying Tank. Aba thought I was NUTS, but was more than happy to assist me with this project. Aba tooked my colors samples, and had them computer matched. The main color on the Tank is PPG 410-6 Toy Tank Green in which I had it converted to Benjamin Moore & Co. premium interior latex flat pain (Quart of BM#4-PPG Coloring- B-29, C2Y+2, D11, w 20 ) Aba if your reading this THANK YOU

1) Scuff covering with 400 sandpaper, wipe down with tack cloth.

2) I thinned the paint down with clean tap water, 3/4 of a cup of paint to 1/4 of a cup of water.

3) I sprayed two thin coats of Toy Tank Green color.

4) Let dry for 24 Hours before next step.
