No, I took them off. Makes it easier to sand and paint with them off. There is still some dried epoxy residue there, but that will be covered up when I put them back on.
That is something I am currently researching. When I originally painted this years ago, I used rattle cans. I will be using airbrush this time around. I am partial to Tamiya acrylic paints, but I am having some difficulty for getting the right shade of red. I don't want to mix paint if I don't have to.
I have been looking at Vallejo. They seem to have a wide variety of colors. Any experience with them?
I am open to suggestions.
Miggs Fett did a ROTJ jetpack, not too long ago, and I think he used rattle cans for base colors and it came out fantastic, you can see it on IG or BFBuilders

That’s how I painted it the first time. I like the aesthetic of the layering. There will still be some of the smaller silver damage that I will need to do topically.
Originally, I was wanting to use airbrush exclusively for this repaint. After some discussion with Miggs, he convinced me to use rattlecan for the base layers. I’ll still be using airbrush for the weathering though. He gave me a list of colors that he used to try out.
Hey fellas, I too am approaching the same step with my MOW pack. What do you suppose the likelihood of Mr Miggs sharing this color list of his is? I airbrushed my 1st JP which is a 3d print, and I'm thinking of going the can route on this one...
