    Aircraft look on tank

    After long months of dreaming and planning I've decided which frame, which engine, and image for my build. I'm going for a WW2 aircraft inspired cafe. To get that nice aircraft finish would you take it to bare metal and clear coat it? Or use a silver paint? What kind of finish?

    What Kind of Paint Are You Using

    Just curious...I'm thinking of repainting my tank. Not exactly sure if I'll do it now or over the winter (yeah, 8 months away). Just curious what kind of paint you guys (and gals, gotta be politically correct) are using.
