I'm thinking about painting my Flagg and Terror Drome, but I'm not too sure on what color paint to use. I want to keep them close to the original color scheme. Any suggestions would be helpful, like what brand of paint would work best, or what your thoughts are in regards to the actual color. My guess is they're both a very very light grey, or grey/white.The blue for the TD looks to be a Navy Blue. Give me your thoughts please.

I wouldn't paint them either. If there is yellowing, i would buy some touch up paint and just hit those spots...

The Flagg is not bad color wise, only a slight color change. The TD has major yellowing on half of it like it sat facing a window, or some sort of UV source. I've been struggling with this decision all week. I would love to be able to reverse the yellowing, but I don't think it's possible.

There is no way to reverse the yellowing that i know of. Your best bet would be to find some paint that matches the colors you need, and then take your time and restore your terrordrome and flagg. Even if you do just a little per day, these classic pieces are worth it... |

Yeah i think some touch up paint would make it look as good as new. If you don't want to do the painting, you could always look for the pieces you need on e bay, although you would be better off doing it yourself...
