Hi there, I am flirting with an idea to have myself some painted maneuver dial covers for my Imperial ships, as that is what I fly the most. From a gentle six Tie swarm to now three Ace squadron. While I really enjoy the fact, the dial covers already have the Imperial design, I am a bit puzzled in regards to paint. Hence my questions here.
1. Has anyone managed to recreate the bluish grey of the imperial ships? Using GW reference, which I am most familiar with, I'd say a darker Space Wolves Grey would work. I don't know the new name of the paint.
2. Varnish! Any preference? I was thinking of a normal spray varnish for the covers after painting. Like two or three layers to prevent chipping.
3. Disassembly of the paper dials, is it actually possible to do without damaging the dial itself? The black plastic lock has a super tight fit.
