Abdomen button colors

[dainiskhao]

So I need to paint my abdomen buttons I know they need to be blue and gray but I was wondering what shade of blue and gray are needed I also need to paint the teeth of the helmet is that going to be the same shade of gray as the buttons I also have a question of what type of paint I should use

Hi there, Trooper.

Here’s a handy thread on paint colours; https://www.whitearmor.net/forum/topic/39650-anh-paint-colour-guide/

The grey for the frown and ab buttons is the same. The blue can be used for ab buttons and tubestripes.

Definitely enamel, Dain.  Hopefully you will be aiming for level 3 (Centurion) but even if you aren't, for closer screen accuracy I would highly suggest following the CRL for that requirement which states that the ab-button paint "shall not extend beyond the bottom of the actual raised button".  Note on the screen used one below how there is a small space below the painted area.

 

 

To make painting these areas easier, I suggest using a "filbert" style bush.  The rounded end will give you a lot more control.

Agreed, this brush also makes painting your Vocoder so much easier.

Correct colours in Humbrol are

Blue Gloss14

Grey Gloss 5

Be sure to post some photos, Dain.  I would suggest trying out the brush/paint on another surface to get the hang of using it.  Looking forward to seeing the end result!
