I figured i would would repaint a Target Exclusive 25th Anniversary Cobra H.I.S.S. Tank. In the colors of the coolest Decepticon tank evah!!! (Blitzwing) It's not completely finished as for the stickers. I have to find the Decepticon/Cobra logo. :grin:

So the actual paint is Sherwin Williams Ultra 7000 Basecoat mixed 1:1 with lacquer thinner for that added flatness. Not to mention i sprayed it with a touch-up gun w/ 1.0 setup @ 80psi. So my intentions were met. Flat flat flat! Except for the cockpit cover which was clear coated and scuffed and shot. Which with the clear being on it, it kinda gives a little gloss but not much. Oh and just a tip Bulldog Adhension promoter is awesome for plastics. Just wipe with a tac rag spray it on let it flash then shoot directly over it.

Maybe the tint works like the venician mirror, you can see through only one side of it?

Yes!!! thats the idea. But orginally it was supposed to be transparent. I mixed 10% purple toner to some clearcoat. Umm and i got a huge run on it...and i then decided to blast on the toner i had made. you know...when it dried
