How to Paint a Diecast Scale Model with Factory Paint?

[PrepVet]

I picked up a couple of the 4-door “Just Trucks” diecast cars from Walmart today but I would like one of them to be Area 51.

I painted a few models as a kid long ago but with “model” paint never automotive paint.

Any suggestions?

I painted my traxxas. Got the factory paint in a spray can. Lots of taping.

Really? Nice! Where did you get the spray can of factory paint? The dealer?

yours look great.

The only choices I found for Cyber Orange were $70 per can or $88 for a kit with three cans. My die cast Bronco is staying black for now.

Looks like there’s a Black Friday sale still going on too for 15% off.

$54 for the rattle can… hhhmm that’s more than I paid for both of the diecasts. lol. Still think I might do it although I am not known for painting proficiency.
