You will need to water down the paint a little while mixing to spray. NOTE: it is Removable even though it states it is not. You will also need to purchase Liquitex Gloss to add to all paint (makeup only ) to come out shiny and plastic. Go to for best prices for the paint needed which was a Liquitex Acrylic paint-HOOKER GREEN. We were reluctant to give up our paint color for our own reasons, but we figure when we win YOU WIN! Believe me, not any green paint works contrary to what some others tried. One cloths & props are dry you are ready to paint. Put the jackets and pants on to stretch out and break up creases in the pants because you will want to touch up those areas with primer again. The jackets and pants will be extremely stiff. We recommend once you have primed everything let dry a full day.
Prime away on ALL cloths and gear, we chose to use a paint sprayer to get the primer as even as possible. If you don't use primer obviously the paint will just get soaked in the cloths. We grabbed a gallon of Kilz primer at Lowes for $20. FIND a coupon always online for Party city, we found a 20% off which came in handy to save $$. I also purchased the bullets for $8.00 and machine gun for $10.00.Splurge on the better helmets at Party city like we did, they look realistic and better than the $9.00 cheap plastic ones that don't fit your head anyway.
We picked up the helmets at Party City for $19.99, the grenades for $2.00, dog tags for $2.00 and the knife for $2.00. We also found the boots at the Good will for $13.00. The pants were wayyyy to much $85-$95 and we found those at the Good will brand new for $9.99 which was a steal.
We also decided to splurge on a couple patches because believe it or not they do pop out and give jacket more realistic look. We picked up real army jackets at the army surplus store for a steal at $24.99. Our freedom exists because of you and we don't take for granted what you have done for us while we were doing this project, THANK YOU. I want to first start off by giving complete HONOR and RESPECT to all who have served and are currently serving in our MILITARY FORCES.
