Re: pics of the raptor
Your white tank scheme looks cool. Was there any special procedure for painting the plastic?

Re: pics of the raptor
Hi.I had my mate do all the spraying but i did the prep. the side panels & tank infill took a couple more coats of high build primer than the rest to lose the texture. Then a base coat was applied. Its hard to see but the white has a slight orange pearl & the black has some purple tinge. It was a bit tricky to stecill the decals on but once that was done the lacqure was applied.I dont think any special process was used other than the usual ones used in a paint shop.
