What paint to use?

Go to solution Solved by bgibbz,

Yep. spray with primer, then paint, then a clear coat to add the gloss. I've done something similar (albeit smaller).

Awesome! i really like this MGS5 paint job and i want to re-create it myself, ill have a look for some tutorials though. 

My thanks :)

Couple tips- dissemble things as much as you can. It's easier to paint just a panel rather than try to paint around a bunch of other stuff. Nearly tape off anything that you don't want paint touching. Taping can make or break a paint job. Take it slow, and let it dry. dont add a second coat until the first one is COMPLETLY dry. Good luck!
