Good day all! Having been in the military several years ago, I have always wanted to build some kind of tribute to the military. After stumbling across this picture, I decided on what I was going to do.
After doing some research, I found how I am going to do this. I am going to be taking all the body panels off, then painting each one with white Plastidip spray paint. This is the same paint that people use to put on handles on their tools so that their hands don't slip off. The great thing about this paint is that you do not need to sand down the original body panels. If at any time you want to return back to the original color, you can just peel it off. The Plastidip actually protects the original paint.
So after I paint everything white, I'll be taping off the white star along with a few other things (I'm not going to be putting the MP on it). I'm then going to be painting over the white Plastidip with normal Olive Drab spray paint. Then I'll go back and take off the tape and the white star will show.
Later on I will be adding a CB radio to the scoot with a large antenna mounted to the back rack. This should finish the military theme. I'll be updating this thread in the weeks to come to show the progress.
