I really like Ironhide's live action design, but I always hated his colors. But at the same time, I've seen Hasbro's G1 colored versions and they didn't particularly look great either. However, recently I got inspired by the Energon Igniters version from the Bumblebee toyline. I then put my own spin on it by modeling the detail work after a beat up mudder car, since there are a LOT of mudders in my area. This was the end result. Hope y'all like!
The base was a random candy apple spray paint from Walmart. The grey was Apple Barrel pavement, painted on red was Apple Barrel Pavement, silver was either Deco Art Shimmering Silver or Folkart Brushed Silver depending on the spot, and the tan was just a couple different shades of tan mixed together, mixed with water, and sprayed out of a bottle.
