Hi guys, I am in the middle of doing a trolley accumulator for my dio in the BfB campaign. The kit is Revel and to simulate the electrical lead that plugs into the aircraft they provide a length of thin black shiny vinyl pipe. Anybody got any advice on the best paint to use on vinyl, and the colour to paint it? I don't have any colour pictures for reference but I would guess it would be black or dark grey?
