Heh - Thanks Liege. The thing is that - while I was doing exactly what you were suggesting - ie painting the bumpers silver - I had the misfortune of a wonderful MASKING ACCIDENT!!! I was using cling wrap to mask everything away from the back bumper and because I hadn't left the paint to dry for sufficient time (jeebus) I had to give him yet another fresh coat of paint. <_<;
The good news is: Silver bumper and bullbar
The bad news is: I'm waiting for the paint to dry for longer. Like - a few days longer - so - no bot mode pics for a while >_> Had to redo the paint on him so many times due to silly accidents that I am playing it safe now :D

Aye! Thanks kup! I think so too! The pix of the henkei version that had the metallic blue windows prompted me to do so myself :D

Thanks Pulse :D The front - as I mentioned above is now red, with the silver bullbar - It's not coming out as shiney after a clear coat - which is disappointing but I'm still happy with it!
Huzah!
Anyhoo- again, sorry about the lack of new bot pics - but I think I better let this sucker dry out properly before even thinking of going there :b Oh - the temptation is too great!
Oh well :) Stay tuned dudes!
Oh! And later today : Pix of his gun!!! (THAT is dry and clear coated... So STAY TUNED)
EDIT:
Incidentally, here's how the diff paint colours look like:
(the top is scratchy and stuff cause I just sanded and ripped the paint off that :b

Right you are Kup! :)
And I use Tamiya paints mainly. That said, I am branching into the gunze sangyo's thanks to something I read from gamblor (I think :D - and his advice has been solid - so I'm stickin' with it!)
Also - here's the weapon pics I forgot to upload till now :B

That weapon looks awesome :) Can i get the exact product code/name of the silver you used for that? I'm thinking Universe Cyclonus' wings will benefit greatly!
Also, with the paints are you purchasing them online or through a local hobby store? I've really got to get out and have a look, but i'm not even sure where to start in Perth :(
