Classics Sunstreaker's shiny new paintjob!

[liegeprime]

very nice, loophole!

How'd you get the masking for the clear bits done so nicely!? As a bit of a beginner in that dept, I just gotta know!

Dont you have to use masking tape on those bits? It's fiddly but it covers quite well the spots you want covered.

Now you just have to paint the silver bits in loopy and you got Henkei Streaker hehehe!

Sums up exactly what I wanted to say

[iceburn]

thumbs up!! great work...

[gamblor916]

That's exactly why I bought 2 Sunstreakers but you pulled it off first.
I have Giallo Midas Pearl, is that the colour you used?
Sweet paint job

[Paulbot]

That looks excellent! Well done.

Very smish!

Looks very nice, even with his brake lights and everything left unpainted, he still looks much better than the normal Hasbro version.

In the first pic you can see some fine line tape its only about 4mm wide i used that and a razor blade to tape out the windows.

At Kurdt_the_Goat the paints i used were Automotive paints Dupont to be exact.

And yes Gamblor it is Giallo Midas Pearl. I had to use a a Lambo colour

here's a quick summary of what for whoever wants to know, after pulling him apart i lighly sanded the parts with P1200 wet sand paper. after which i used antistatic prepsol to clean it up.

Then once i set up all the pieces for painting i put plastic primer on followed by the underground colour which is just a solid yellow after that i then put on the basecoat colour which has the pearl part of it in it. And after that all of that i put on the clear and then left it to harden up in the spray booth at work. And put all back together when i got home.

Thanks for all the flattering comments.

I wasnt sure how it was gonna turn out but now that ive done one i wanna do more but might have to find my airbrush so i can do it at home.

+1 QFT! All this effort to make it look like Henkei. Yeah, you should paint the gun and air intakes mithral silver - closest thing to chrome unless you want to actually splash out for real chrome paint.

True super sweetness- good work, turned out awesome.

I was actually going to buy a henkei at first but then didnt just in case i %#^*@! it up that way i wouldnt of destroyed a more expensive toy.
BTW henkei SS doesnt have pearly paint and mine does but he now has mithril silver

and now presenting Sunstreaker with added touch ups for his car mode i just used some Warhammer paints....





and hopefully tommorrow i'll finish off all the detailing for his bot mode.
