Heh, well call me a newb, but...

What kind of paint does one use of plastic armour?

I dont want my paintjob to look tacky..

plastic paint.

Krylon Fusion is usually best.

Also dont forget to read all the stickies, TONS of information there.

As long as you have a good base of primer on it, any of the model paints from Testors to Floquill to Humbrol will work just fine.

Thanks! I found some paint, and I'l get the armour done ASAP.
