Paint troubles!!`

Post by Stats696 » Sat Jul 31, 2010 8:16 pm

Hi,

Having recently bought my anus and after some searching on various forums i think it has been painted with Olive Drab Green Krylon. It needs some TLC and work on the body so have been trying to find out where i can buy this to touch in after im finished.

Does anyone know where to get it, or its substitute?

Many thanks

many thanks for that,

do you think you would get a reasonable finish with a brush or roller? or would trying to get it in rattle cans be best, as i dont have a facility for spraying.

Has anyone had any reasonable sucess with a brush or roller?

That looks great!! Did he just use a standard DIY roller? And then flat it off with some say 1500 grit w&d to get rid of the roller marks?

i don't really know how he done hes I'm sure he'll post when he gets back. the way i normally do it is just lightly go over with a brush to just flaten the roller marks
