You said you stripped the paint a few times. What paint do you use & what do you use to strip it?
Thanks a lot

as far as the paint... originally I tried brushing on Pactra acrylic enamel (I think testors used to make it)...what a nightmare....brush marks, drips etc... anyway, I used 70% alcohol to strip off the pactra acrylic enamel. Next I used gloss black -spray- model paint..... which was the 2nd coat...that got messed up as well so I stripped it with regular paint thinner (which surprisingly enough, had NO effect on the plastic at all). The final paint job was gloss black testors spray paint.
