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.

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
