    Hi,

    Saw a custom transformer figure from frenzy rumble on ebay last week and I feel in love with customs. These are my first customs, used testors paint and dullcote to seal it. Feel free to c / c, give tips and etc.. :)

    I used black enamel and mix it with thinner a bit.. did a few layers to make him look darker and dirty.. then used silver with a dry brushed and give him that damage metal look.

    about the pics with prime combined with jet as soon as my baby goest to sleep I will def play with it and post later :)

    YouTube - Re Chroming Transformers

    hey the guy in this youtube vid uses some spray chrome paint. He re chromes some G1 parts, looks good. Maybe this paint will help with Primes stacks :)
