These are going on the sides of the tank. All the parts in black will actually be white and the white parts will be OD Green

Did you already have a paint gun?
I got a paint gun set about a year ago and just now getting around to using it. Took some time to figure out which **** did what since there was no manuals.

Lol and learned one time to make the needle is in so the paint won't run out of the gun and get EVERYWHERE!!! Also learned from a local painter that once the paint was out to run air through it for a minute and then use some laquer thinner to spray through it and clean up will be super easy!

I'll make one more suggestion. If you have never sprayed clearcoat before, find something to practice on before spraying your tins. Clear will run on you and you won't see it sometimes until it's too late. It really is very different than spraying the base color.

What kind paint and gun you using? Cost?

I've toyed with the idea of paintingy own stuff bit never pulled the trigger. I've got some experience with scale models but that's quite a different thing.

Gravity feed?

I've got a couple old siphon feed DeVilbiss guns that should work OK if I got a moisture filter but all the pros seem to use gravity feed.

What kind of paint? Where did you get it?
