I'm having a hard time tracking down Rustoleum's spruce green for my armour, can anyone tell me an alternative brand for rattle cans or airbrush paints work too!
If spruce green was supposed to represent the lighter green damaged areas on the chest and abdomen; I used model masters SAC Bomber Green (in a rattlecan) from Amazon I believe...
In the past when I started, my armor was sprayed with Spruce Green and lightly misted with flat black. That's how I've painted both my armors (the one in ABS when I started (picture in my profile) and my upgraded fiberglass armor after that.
An alternative color I am using is not a spray version, but rather acrylic paint found at Walmart. The brand is Apple Barrel and the color is Marsh Green. It is the closest color that matches my armor.
So this may be to much for some but I used Tamiya gray green spray (AS-29). It's very light but when you layer some black over spray and weathering I think it looks perfect.
You can still.fond SAC bomber green from testors on ebay.
Also as an aside I used Tamiya Dark Green (AS-79) as the main green for mt ROTJ SE. It may not be super accurate but Tamiya sprays react so much better with liquid mask and are super tough and available on amazon ans ebay and most hobby shops
Sorry to post bomb you guys but I also wanted to.mention that I haven't put the armor through the final weathering yet, it will all.be a bit darker once I put my final wash/tint coat and final fine scratches
