Got a feeling this isn't the right place for this so I apologize in advance...
I am trying to create a Hulk Hogan Mattel by using the Ultimate Warriors body (I know Warrior may be a tad shorter and a little more ripped but I can live with it)
I used Warriors body, took off his boots and put basic 1 Big Show's boots on which looks pretty good, took off the pads and put Koslovs red pads on, took the arms off and threw Paul Orndorff's on so what I'm left with is Hogan in white trunks and I'd like to paint them yellow.
First question is what paint should I use, and second how do I paint the trunks without getting paint on the upper legs?
Is there a way to get the legs off to get them out of the way? I tried blow drying my elite Matt Hardy to do a test run and I couldn't get the legs off by just blow drying it, so is there another way to do it? Any help would be great

I'd say just paint the trunks carfully or just cover the thighs with some masking tape. I like using Testors model paint (Flats... not gloss or enamels) or Apple Barrel Acrylics.

WalMart or any craft store (AC Moore, Michaels) would have the Apple Barrels and any store that sells models should have Testors paint. I know some craft stores have Testors
