Hello Robodude i don't know my friend it kinda looks weird to me it's a silver paint, i was fooled by the color of the spray can lid, I don't think it looks good... I think i will search for the similar original paint. It's too bright i didn't attached the arm it was only to see how it would look... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ROBODUDE Posted Thursday at 10:28 PM Share Posted Thursday at 10:28 PM Yes-I can see now with the parts it would be too silver with the eyes and mouth! Good luck Joao! I cant wait to see it finished! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good luck Joao! I cant wait to see it finished! Yeah and it needs more soft sandpaper to smooth some areas than new Paint but now it have to wait like 3/4 days to a proper dry paint going to leave it into the sun light to cure faster...
