[jpdude11]

I recently went to my local wallgreens and bought an die-cast special edition 1/27 scale jeep wrangler and I want to paint it like the origenal jp one ;D. However I dint know what to paint it with , and there's also an coating/gloss on it so I'm not sure it I take it off first and then paint or just paint over it. So I need to know what to do and how to do it plz help me

First of all, I would buy a spare jeep so that you have a backup if you ruin it in the process of making it.

TOO late i already used paint thinner to get off the paint and it ate the plastic parts

How did you apply the thinner? A fine brush may have been best to avoid getting the aggressive substance on plastic/rubber areas.

i did use an small brush.......... and some of it seeped into the back of an side mirror and some of the body frame ... and i thought that this stuff was for models
