I've only managed to take pictures of this in truck mode. Robot mode pics on the way in a day or 2. This is a special new range of metallics from me. Starburst metallics. The colours are richer and have very very minute metallic flakes in it. Unfortunately, the pictures can only capture the richness but not the effect of the metal flakes.

This Prime will be the first in line for the promotion of our procustomizers webby.

Ok! Some updates. Still fiddling around with the camera and settings. So bear with the slightly inconsistent picture quality.

That just looks sexy (no, not you Sabby) :P

Kidding aside, that shade of red just looks amazing! Where/how did you get it? I hope I can find it here in the Philippines.

I'm still using my usual mr hobby colours but the real secret is in how I apply the base colours and coat. It's taking me 20-30% more time coz I gotta use those low temperature ovens for this process.

Looks awesome! You need to dust your display mirror though! Lol.

Looks great. The result looks similar to some of the automotive urethanes I have been using. The term you used, richness, is perfect. They have such a depth to them over traditional paints.
