    So I'm going to attempt my first "custom" ever. Nothing on the level of those around here who actually have skill, but I just obtained a backup RTS Jazz and I want to do use the Mech Ideas Shockwave head and laser hand. I want to paint the whole figure though, and not just use the few stickers the kit came with. Anyone have any ideas on what shade of purple would best match the head it the MI kit? Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

    Testors instant lacquer "Purplicious" is a good color to use, I've had nothing but good experiences with that paint.
