Yep! It's looking really sharp so far, but I want to paint the doors a deep gray like the original. It's harder than I thought to find the paint! Krylon Fusion only has so many colors....
If I just CAN'T find the proper paint, I'll just paint the cage black and leave the doors the "flat plastic black" they're molded in. Last edited by Cobra Terrorist; 03-02-2013 at 10:13 PM.. |

Glad you did too.
How pissed would you be if you ruined those doors?

I hope you can figure it out. Would love to see how it turns out when you are done. I bet it would look amazing.
Yet another simple repaint that Hasbro could clean up on, but will never do.

There is also Duplicolor Bumper Coating that is apparently formulated for plastics. They have a "dark charcoal" color that might work for ya

If I wasn't such a purist, I'd just buy that light gray Krylon Fusion and paint the doors 25th style! |

Huh....I'm unsure now.
I put a second coat on that test piece and it came out looking really good! Not only did it not crack, but it covered up the cracks from the first coat! I should run more tests, lol. Who knew making a custom would be so scientific? Also....who's ready to kick some ASS for Cobra tonight?! |
