    That looks a million times better! I was kind of planning the same thing..... The removeing the white anyway, but I think I'll have to remove that ugly spoiler like you did too!! These probably won't start showing up around here untill like December. Looks great!

    hmm, I should try this. Bumblebee actually looks presentable like this, as opposed ot his utter crappyness in his factory paint job.

    That looks great! Getting rid of the white makes all the difference.

    Successfully did this last night. Pin removal is totally unecessary (unless you wanna use spray paint). Just make sure the main white part (ass end) is sitting in the alcohol and the roof and Bumbles head is resting above it. The legs can just sit in the alcohol. It was super easy after letting the parts soak for 20 minutes and you just wipe away. Only problem is that you have to repaint the roof since it's painted yellow to begin with.

    Thanks for the tips Dark_Convoy

    Nice job. He could use some black paint on his roof scoop vent IMO but otherwise awesome ;)
