    You'd probably be better of using a Starscream for this if you can find one. Painting a blue over black can be a little difficult.

    However for the actual painting dismantle him as much as possible, sand any areas that rub lightly so that when the paint goes on those areas aren't to tight, that will reduce wear and scratching when you pose or transform him.clean the parts with a mild soap or if you have it gojo, that will help the paint adhere later. When you do paint use multiple thin layers, the end result should be smoother and its easier to correct mistakes this way.
