My S.I.M. Repainted...at last!!!!

[ChrisCJ99]

I know I repainted 8 so you can scratch those off

So does the repainting of the SIMs make the ORIGINAL paint SIM appreciate?!?

8 repaints??? omg thats a lot of work!!!!

 

[FOKAI_SNAKE]

Amazing! just amazing! great work!

 

[Mookeylama]

i would love to get my SIM painted red & gold if only the lights could be changed from red to yellow, or even orange.

Wow, the repaints look good but you gotta gloss this baby.

If I remember right their was a guy on SF that replaced his red lenses with some recast amber colored ones.

no thoughts for white leds ???

 

[Darth_Maul]

Mookey?
i don`t know really..the color that my friend added its kinda mixed with small marbles .. which already makes it a little bit metallic .. i think if he put gloss on it will be too shiny,,,but i really want to hear and other thoughts about the gloss.
so far i didn`t manage to get a picture side by side with the iron man LSB...just to check the gloss..

yeah i know of him but he's not doing anymore repaints last i heard. and no other painter seems willing to get into recasting resin lens covers to change the color.

Seond that

Darth Maul, any inputs on how long the repainting process actually took (start to finish) & how much it cost you ???

it took around 24 days and the total cost was 250 $ . fair price i think.
if you calculate how much it cost me to get the sim from a fellow freak here and the repaint cost ..its the same price to find an original comiquette but with so much fakes in the market i took a second thought and i said why not?
i gained a piece that was one of my dream collectible and with lights!!!:chew
now i`m in thoughts for that gloss i can`t imagine right now how it could be little more shiny if you see the color in person it has a feeling of metal and i`m afraid that with the gloss it`s going to look like plastic,,my thought though..

It would look no more plastic than the original Red & Gold.

i hope for it !!! because if i ask for gloss there is no turning back..i think...if you add gloss on it its easy then to be removed ??
