Estes Antar paint
In the instructions, it says to use silver, white and deep forrest paint. I have been unable to find any paint marked deep forrest. Is it only available in Rustolem rattle cans? What are others out there using?

I would just use a dark green of my preference. No big deal.
Just use compatible paints. Allen |

Use Tamiya Surface Primer on styrene (or other plastic you have concerns about). It is meant for plastic models. It has no fillers, so it won’t blur, or fill in, fine detail. It is especially recommended for use before using their lacquers. I use it all the time with Tamiya and other lacquer paints. Great product.
