Default What is a good white paint to use on a white jersey team?

I used to just use the white from the figures. But having different white plastic from the different figures, it will not look good. I decide I am going to paint them all the same white color.

With this said, does it matter what white paint I use? I am painting a viking team in a white jersey.

Default Mr. Michigan

I use RaiderMike's white. You get a whole lot a paint for a very reasonable price. The white is as close to the Haiti Repo Color that you can get. I know their are other options to fit the type of material your team uses for their jerseys but that is definitely my preference.

Take Care!

Default Thank you

Thanks Ken. I think I will go ahead and get that white from RaiderMike. Because I can get it with the Decals I am going to buy from him.

I forgot that he sold paint too. I like the paint he sent me in the past. I am sure I will like his white too.

Thank you,
Tony

Default White Paint....

Tony,
For Brush-Painting -I recommend <> MODEL MASTER White Primer
it matches and covers pretty good.
For Spraying - I recommend KRYLON-flat or gloss white.
( there are probably many types of sprays that will work)
I like KRYLON because you can find it at WalMart and most
importantly,it dries very fast.
Hope this helps.

SEMPER FI,
Chris Stacey
Hampton,Va.

Default More ideas

Chris, I am glad you still replied to my post. Because I am not going to buy that white paint from Raidermike. Due to the extra cost of shipping it to me.

Right now, I will look into that Model master white primer. Now does anyone else have some ideas on a white paint to use?

Thank you,
Tony

Default I use...

Model Masters flat white works well. I like the flat white better than the gloss white because I think it gives a brighter/cleaner white color than the white gloss did for me. You can still obtain a gloss look thru choice of a final clearcoat.
