Hey all,
I used the FoW Warpaint Soviet Tank spray to help me get a bunch of 20mm T-34/85s done for an upcoming game, my only problem? Like all sprays, I have to touch up where the spray missed, so does anyone know any craft paints or Vallejo or P3 colors that I can use that come very close to the Soviet Tank color so it doesn't look TOO bad? |

Vallejo 894 (096) Russian Green? |

Those spots you missed? That is where you put the brown camo.  |

Missed? With spray paint? How can you do that? You let it dry, then you place it on its other side, and hit it again from a different angle. If you're missing spots while spraypainting, you're not using enough spray paint. |

There's always nooks and crannies I miss, it's alright, I can paint over them now that I know what paint matches. |

So, you think one coat is enough? |

Try this: link I've read that you should leave the decanted spray paint open and out for awhile (several hours) in order to let it out-gas properly. Otherwise it blows up your paint jar. |

Use it to your advantage! Prime the tanks in either flat black or dark brown. Now those little areas you miss with the tank color form excellent shadows and shading. In fact you can use a cheap flat black, like from Wally World, and then just go lightly over with the more expensive model paint thus saving money and paint. |
