    Well, I was bored and wanted to do a custom and I decided to pimp out my CW Sunstreaker and I thought him with no paint looked really bad. So here it is!

    Robot mode additions:
    -Light blue paint on the combiner port and lower chest
    -Metallic paint on chest engine, knees and grill
    -Yellow applied to the yellow parts
    -Black Paint applied to black parts

    Vehicle mode
    -Metallic painted spoiler
    -Blue from the chest pops in the front (took 5 seconds to grow on me)
    -Yellow Paint applied to the yellow parts
    -Black Paint applied to black parts

    The paint looks very streaky and the brush strokes are very visible. Might I suggest thinning out your paints a bit and using primer?

    ...also why did you add yellow paint on the already yellow parts? Seems a bit like a waste to me, especially since the colour of paint is very very similar to the paint on the plastic...

    I am pretty new to painting, I still need to pick up some primer and I have never done thinning.

    The yellow plastic on CW Sunstreaker is very bad, it is an off-color yellow that doesn't look like Sunstreaker and it is greenish when it is near the Black plastic, it looks bad and this gave it a Unite Warriors color scheme without loosing the very stylish read UW casually left out. Along with some other custom details.

    On camera, the unpainted sections near the yellow paint look very very similar to me, with a slightly different hue.
