Painting A text book can (and has) been written on painting models. Our prototype was painted with Chevron’s Perfect Paint, but similar results can be expected from any of the popular hobby related paints. It is important to make sure any part to be painted has been thoroughly degreased and lightly sanded, including any metal parts.
