Scout Trooper – Armor – Chest Strap Extensions & Back, Refinishing, Completed

Paint Work…

Time to paint…

After a light wet sanding with 500 grit sand paper, I’m gonna say the Chest piece is now ready for paint…

To keep the breast decal from getting any overspray, I’ll be using this masking fluid…

I used a toothpick to apply it over the decal…

One coat of masking fluid…

For good measure, I applied a second coat, just to make sure no areas were left uncovered…

Then, the Chest strap extensions got a coat of white paint. After the first coat was dry, I did a really light wet sanding with 1000 grit sand paper on both the Chest & Back pieces. And, they then both got another coat of white, which was blended into the existing paint…

After the paint was dry, I removed the masking fluid…

Revealing the breast decal, with no paint on it…
