Ryukaze is not a member here and honestly..it's not worth the effort getting it repainted. Custom painters do not give away their secrets as to what paint they use... The use of Gundam Markers may or may not be the answers..but it is better if u practice it on some KO TF's on your own.

I was thinking of asking ppl to do the same with my own seekers army. but the extra cost for getting em repainted is just not worth it. They are usually charged 60-100 onwards for a figure. U can get an extra Deluxe figure or possibly a Voyager class figure by just adding a bit more.

Try doing it yourself... and if u need tips in tightening up the loose joints, i can help u with that :)

Cheers!!!

the color scheme is ok, i just dont like the quality of the paint. it's not shine. just a flat purple n flat silver color. hate that....


p/s- thanks for the tips bro...i'll try it

Oh.. if it's the matted paint job that is displeasing to u.. then u can always go and get a gloss or primer spray and spray the figure.. but u need to ask the art shop owner recommend it to u.. bcoz some of these sprays leaves a rather sticky finish on the figure :)

Hope this helps :)

Ya i already try this method on my motobike plastic part. Using clear coat, the flat black become shining like brand new. Neuer think this method can apply to tf figure. I should try this. Risk? After 6 month the clear coat terkopek la. .

I am assuming that when u said u used it on ur bike..that the bike is not a toy model??... Ofcoz the coating comes off la.. artshop varnish are not exactly meant for heavy duty usage of wear n tear on a motorbike lol... but on a toy.. y not? it's not like u r going to expose ur toys to sun, wind and rain ... give it a try... Always experiment on a cheap plastic ko toy b4 attempting it on the real deal :)
