where did you get the bucket and armor?

[Cowboy Kylo[501st]]

What are you doing as far as paint? I have my own spray gun, just not sure on brand of paint and of course there has to be different colors of white. Just wondering what you were going to use

I too am curious who/ where you purchased the armour from. I only know of one- two places to get it right now. 

[dave maul[501st]]

The guys in the UK have used Appliance white from Halfords auto store , The garage are going to match it so I can do touch ups in the future via the spray can.<br>

The armour is from Anovos

Replaced the Anovos gaskets with Imperial gaskets

Just waiting on the helmet to come back from the spray shop. Last bits to do are add a light to the front of the F11 & fans to the helmet.

So close now

YESSSS!!!

 

Did you have the whole armor painted or just the bucket?

[Quothcorvus[TK]]

Almost there.... almost there!

 

Tony, both myself and Dave are having all the armour painted at the same place.  Hoping mines gonna be ready too as we are planning on final detailing and clearance piccies on Sunday!

[ukswrath[Staff]]

Awesome, just be cautious automotive paint full cure time may take weeks. Here's a good test, in about a week find a hidden spot you cant see and press a fingernail into it. If the dent remains then the cure time will take a while. Be careful when Trooping and placing objects on or near the armor. The good news is once the paint is fully cured is should be several times stronger than rattle can versions.

[dave maul[501st]]

Finished main build

[Wipeout]

  very nice!
