what is good that i can get at wal mart for painting? my nearest hobby store is 40 miles away, but i work across the street from wal mart, anybody?

I used to use the Dupli Color paints bought from Wal Mart on my Zips, but I don't have any experience using it on Xmods. A lot of people say they have had good results with Testors, which can be bought there too.

I would suggest laying down a coat of primer before applying the color coat, it will help the paint stick better, and hide MINOR imperfections.

Most everywhere you find spray paint, you will find primer.

I would have to agree with the others. Testors is a great brand of paint from Wal-mart. I use the spray paint.

Make sure you prime it before you use testors paint tho. It will just slide right off the surface plastic if you don't.
