    Default Fixing those Hasbro Rhinox guns...

    I already had a can of Tamiya plastic primer so I invested in a can of Tamiya metallic silver spray paint and went ahead and finished Hasbro's job for them. Looks way better compared to the brown I think...

    Full "how-to" guide available on my website...

    I'd be more than happy to paint anyone else's if they can cover costs of postage for the discs + chip in little to help me recoup costs of the paint.

    You should paint the inner circle green like its supposed to.
    Think I will be doing this myself. Did you top coat it as well?
    Great job though.

    Yeah I was playing around with the idea of adding some green paint but decided against it because:

    1) The disc design is not a direct translation of what he had on the show so there is a bit of ambiguity about which bit should be green.

    2) It would require some tricky tape-masking to use spray paints or I would have to buy a good brush to do it.

    3) I didn't want to buy *another* paint.

    I didn't do a top coat because apparently they advise against putting a top coat on the metallic silver paint.

    Ahh I see. Fair enough.
    I would recommend hand painting it, making it would be such a pain!

    Really? I thought a gloss top coat would be ok? Id have to look that up. thanks for letting me know.

    Just to show you what I would do, id paint this inner circle.


    Vgm out...
