Hi All,
I'm building the Tam M1A2 OIF. While I've given up on correcting the inaccuracies in the kit build I would like to give the non-slip coating a go. I have the references from the tech manual of where the non-slip goes but my question is more detailed. Has anyone a photo of their non-slip before painting. An example of what I'm after would be TMMI's Challenger where the photos show quite some detail as to where exactly you don't apply the texture ie does the non-slip go over weld seams or are there gaps for these. Bolt heads etc as well.
Any help appreciated.
Cheers

Here you go Shane. This is Gino's(HeavyArty) track he did a while back. He used Krylon Terra Cotta spray paint for his coating. He posted it here a while back, but i can't find the thread. He's not online right know, but hopefully he will see this and explain it better than I can.

Back from a short trip. Glad the technique is helpful. Good luck.
