Thanks guys, I appreciate that you think highly enough of this build that you'd ask my input on the paint.
I used Mike Salzo's suggestion for the base color using a spray can of Testor's flat light aircraft gray, after that dried I oversprayed it very lightly through my airbrush with light gray (flat white with just a drop of black)
For the darkest panels, I sprayed the Testors into a cup, then added black to get that warm dark gray color. For the light panels, I did the same thing, only adding flat white.
So all the colors on the entire speeder originate from the spray can of the aircraft gray with black or white added.
Weathering, and blast marks were all done with super thinned down black.
I've totally abandoned acrylic paint at this point as in my experience enamels just go down smoother.
