It's an easy fix to respray the faded parts.

Buy a bottle of Gaia Color clear red 41 and a cheap airbrush.
Remove the legs and the hip armour. Paint the hip armour with the thinned clear red until it's the right colour. Takes about three minutes and then a couple of hours to make sure it has properly dried.

Cool pics, is it just the nob area where it goes pink on the IV? any other way to do it without an airbrush, can't imagine those things been cheap?

It's the entire hip armour that needs painting.
And yes, airbrushes are expensive. You'll need to remortgage your house:

HA when I think of airbrushes I picture the sprays from car garages for some reason, never used one but for 6 quid I'll have a lash

There's so many air brush kits I don't even know where to begin if I were to do this myself

You'll also need a can of propellant.
And a bottle of this: https://www.ebay.com/itm/230692837367?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1438.l2649
Plus a bottle of acetone to thin it with. All chemists will sell it over the counter. I thin it in a 1/1 paint/acetone mix. Half fill the airbrush feed bottle with paint, then fill it up with acetone and mix well before spraying.

Sounds like something I wouldn't be able to do, not good anyways, might invest in finding an artist to do it for me

It's not hard to do. £20 in materials. Half an hour of your time.

How many IM pants can you do with 1 bottle?

 

[SMC92]

Not that confident in my skills could be ruining a €200 figure...

No. You remove the pants. Then paint those. Worst case scenario, you flub it. Wait till it dries, use acetone to strip it all off again, and star fresh. Paint it silver and then red again. It's easy n

How many do you have that are faded?
You could probably do three or four. Depending on HOW faded they are.
Perhaps more.

 

[SMC92]

I'll give it a shot, by the time they arrive I should have the figure, looks nice see how it compares to my VII.

Just one I think. I'd probably do a few of the older armors though while I was at it.

Good thinking.
It's not difficult. At all.

Sweet. Post pics of your progress.
