    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...

    That's the inner circle I was thinking of putting the green on as well VGM! Can't wait to get a hold of my Rhinox figure and do this little paint job

    What paint brand did you use and exact green color name if I may ask? Or did you have to do a mix to get the green hue just right to match?

    The green looks nice on the metallic silver. Good job.

    I havent done this yet. I dont even have the figure yet.. still wiating to get it.
    I did a photobash of one of llamatron's photos to show him how I would go about it.
    As for paint, I would use MR.Hobby or Tamiya's paint. Once I go about it, Ill let you all know what color or what mix that I used.

    Necro-bump to show my attempt



    The green's not a perfect match but I think it's close enough.
