Looking great, Jaxon! I'm not sure what color the emblem or gauntlets are either. I ended up painting the emblem an almost black, metallic gun metal grey. The reflective quality of the paint makes it appear lighter or darker depending on the light he's in. The red is still showing through on your emblem and boots and could probably use another coat of paint. Other than that, VERY nice job!
Both look absolutely fantastic.
WOW, Remy!! The second one looks awesome!!! VERY GOOD JOB!!! The colors are very rich and vibrant. Love the contrast. Bet your friends are really jealous of that doll
^They're COLLECTIBLES!!!!
Man, now I'm tempted to repaint my MOS to look like your interrogation scene version. Yours makes the stock blue costume look so dull. You did a really great job shading and blending the paints. If you don't mind me asking, did you use acrylic paint?
Also, how is the costume holding up? All the repaints I have seen look amazing. I'm just paranoid that painting the suit will make the suit stiff and prone to crack/chips if you handle or repose the figure a lot.
Awesome man, that's really good to know. I repose my figures A LOT (to keep things new) and that was one of the reasons I was hesitant to repaint the suit.
Why did you use lacquer as opposed to acrylic? Is lacquer-based paint more flexible than acrylic? Also, was the lacquer applied via paint brush or spray paint? LOL sorry for bombarding you with all these questions. Your repaint is just THAT good!!

Acrylic paint won't bond with the material and can flake with age and movement. A laq paint will chemically bond with the suit so you won't have those issues.
Very much appreciated, my friend.
Wow, if you didn't tell me it was safe, I would have NEVER considered using paint with thinner on the suit. I would have thought the thinner would melt the rubber on the suit. Very interesting to know that the suit can handle it!
Like I said, I can't tell you used a paint brush on yours. The shading/blending is executed very well and looks similar to air-brush to me. I wish I knew how to use an airbrush. I've been thinking about learning how to air-brush so I can give my shiny/reflective Robocop a proper repaint. On second thought, it may be a good thing I don't have any airbrush experience. I'd probably repaint every damn figure in my collection
Again, thanks for the info. Very cool and helpful.
Ah, I see. Thanks a lot, Motux! I'll definitely avoid using acrylic if I decide to repaint any fabric. Appreciate it man.
