We did not paint the box for fear the paint would deter the bats. No bats yet, but hoping for some soon.

Painting the box depends on where you live. If you are up north you may need to paint the box to absorb heat (like black or brown). If you are way Deep South, you may want to paint the white to reflect heat, but that is really dependent upon how cold it gets for you in the winter. I live in Georgia (middle of the state) and I did not need to paint my box. You should judge from there...the bats need the box to stay warm.

painting recommendations came with the house... differing for various climates... white for hot climates and black for cold climates. I left mine unpainted as my climate is in between.

No painting required. The orange and white and brown parts are already colored in the kit.

I airbrushed a tan, flat (Testors) base-coat. Let it dry completely. Then I brushed a mixture of Raw-Umber, oil paint. Follow that with a very light mix of Burnt-Umber, following the grain pattern along the stock.Hang the stock on a piece of curved wire and set aside to dry for a few days, before assembly. I have a very nice picture of the finished product.

The surface is prepared for acrylic or oil. I did not order watercolor canvas.

The color is very close. It would thinking painting would work if you sand the finish sufficiently before assembly.... Sounds like a lot of work though.

If you wish it to look like the cover or box art, it will need to be painted. The instructions provided with the kit, will also generally tell you as well, what colors to paint the individual parts of the model.

Light Gray, Gray, Zinc Chromate Green, White, Red. Gloss Black, Brown, Aluminum, Blue, Yellow, Wood, Gunmetal, Olive Drab, Silver, Light Green, Dark Green, Brass, Tan, Flesh. As much as possible I prefer to use Model Masters Enamel. I hope you enjoy working on this model as much as I did. By the way, while there are a number of different paints for the B17G, there will be plenty paint for other airplane model kits. In the long run, as I order new model kits, I find I only to buy a few new ones because I have most of the other colors on hand. Enjoy! Rev Sam

Easily. Just sand lightly and spray a fog of primer (dark) prior to spraying black. Be careful at the recesses not to let the paint gob up or miss a complete coat. You could even use different pull hardware; perhaps silver. And if you want pulls in a different location, fill in the 2 existing holes with pegs & putty, or just putty with adequate drying time, prior to priming.

Go to the Wagner website, there will be a chart showing what paints can be used in each model.

paint both sides with the corresponding paints and with the lighter paint dry brush along the lines to kind of smudge the line

I would suggest lightly sanding the black with 150- 220 grit paper so new paint will grip well. If you can prime with something other than Latex, be better off on metal, perhaps rustoleum. I f you can get the paint in oil , would be best, but unlikely. Use gloss at any rate as harder finish I believe. The last option...Move ! Kidding Mark

There is a viscosity cup to test how much to thin your material. There is also a chart included in the instructions. Honestly, I mostly eyeballed it my first time through. You can also adjust the intensity of the paint stream in order to control coverage.

Honestly it was a gift for my husband so i am not certain. He did not paint anything i believe. He did need glue. It is quite cute. For the price it is well worth it.

I have misplaced the sheet that came with my "Adirondacks Chairs" paint kit for the blendfed colors. Does anyone have one that they can send me the "codes" for. I have finished with all the numbered colors, but need the blends for the letter colors. THANKS!! in advance. Please send to JRamsey156@aol.com

I will tell you one thing. do no skimp on prep time. If you can, san all of the old paint off first. It is not easy, but this is the only way to get a factory finish. might i suggest a wire wheel on a drill, then after that , smooth out the metal o it is realatively smooth. When you now paint it, make sure you do noy let the nozzle get to close to prevent runs, if ny type of imperfections were to happen, then wait for the taint to dry, then sand the imperfevt area, then put on at leaaaat two thinne coats rather than one Robert thicke coat

You can also paint the rails any color you want. Counter weights are great to add too.
