Not trying to cause a paint ball battle here, Tom....
@ Brock
I used all kinds of paints on mine. Some I won't ever use again, but anything that sticks, is dull when it should be dull, and shiny when it should be shiny works for me. Another is handling and cleaning ability. I don't want to have to wear rubber gloves to play with my tank. I would rather it be bright pink with purple dots and be able to drool all over it, if need be!
I bet you could leave your tank outside in a hail storm Brock (not that you would!), and the paint would still be in good shape.

I have King Tiger envy.

Not only does it look great, it's HUGE! [8D]
