TK-4510[501st] Posted April 2, 2008 Report Share Posted April 2, 2008 I discovered MODEL MASTERS Semi Gloss black works perfectly for the vocoder. You can find it in most hobby stores. It flows on nice and is just thick enough to cover in one coat like it should. Just thought I'd pass this info along if you are painting your bucket.

TK1491 Posted April 2, 2008 Report Share Posted April 2, 2008 (edited) I found another great model paint for the vocoder: Tamiya's Black X-1 Acrylic paint is outstanding for the same reasons... model TAM81001 Acrylic X1 Black Used it on my AP's vocoder. ---------- Edited December 14, 2020 by gmrhodes13 link not working, removed gmrhodes13 2020 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drosch Posted April 2, 2008 Report Share Posted April 2, 2008 I used the Model Master on my AP and it did work great. Never really thought to discuss it here but it is the perfect paint for the vocoder. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peregrinus Posted April 2, 2008 Report Share Posted April 2, 2008 "Semi-gloss" = "satin", which is what the black bits should be painted. It doesn't really matter which satin/semi-gloss black paint you use, so long as it works for you and you can get your desired results from it. This is a good thread for people to post the paints they've found that work for them. Testors makes semi-gloss blacks in both enamel and acrylic unde rthe ModelMaster label. Tamiya makes an acrylic, too. Humbrol has an enamel. Those will probably be the most easily found, but there are others. --Jonah Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
