    Well I had a junk energon starscream who was missing a leg so I replaced it. And a whole lot of extra weapons from old tfs I had. So I thought black is the easiest color to work with and went ahead by did asembling him and putting down a black base coat over mostly all the parts(not the weapons, bad mistake) the colors orange and red realy were watery and let the colors fade. Though since they were watery they flowed through all of the panel lines and battle damage creating a nice effect.
    This is my first repaint so be gentle :gen069:
