Painting Shadow Scout White

[KyloBen414]

Received a WTF shadow scout. I really just want a biker so I'm looking for advice on painting this kit white. It's still just pre trimmed plastic, so no straps or anything to worry about.

Thanks in advance!

It needs to be painted gloss white.   Any gloss white will do but definitely primer it up first.  

You may want to trim it all first so you don't have to go back and repaint all the new edges you make from cutting.

It is possible, yes. Though it'd take a number of coats of gloss white to cover the black. Plus abs flexes, so you'll have to deal with cracking and chipping as you wear it. 

My recommendation? It'd be less work and turn out better if you sold it and purchased a biker kit.

The way I do it is first white primer and a couple of layers high gloss clear over it.
