Repainting G Scale Spiteful Brake Van

[ShadowMonk]

Hi all.

I have purchased a G Scale Spiteful Brake Van, and I am looking forward to getting it tomorrow from my local model shop.

This maybe an unpopular opinion, however I do not like the colour scheme of the model, and I plan to repaint Spiteful Brake Van to look like his TV series counter part.

I have never repainted a model before, and I am not really comfortable in doing so, so I decided to do something that looks quite simple.

I have a few questions that I am hoping some members can help me out with.

- I assume spray paint is the best way to go, which brand of spray paint is the best?
- If I go down the spray paint route, shall I also use spray paint on the buffers to make them black?
- Can the face easily be removed and then attached back on? I don't want to spray his face!

Finally, I am not really sure what colour the brake van is? I watched the episode and researching online, a source says that the brake van is a mixture of grey and brown, but i'm not entirely sure.

Any input would be greatly appreciated
