ROTF Optimus Prime 2 w/ Kandy Automotive Urethanes

[- Z -]

This one took me almost 2 months due to the multiple layers of paint. The pictures really don't show the depth and richness of the Urethane paint. The gold on the hood is sprayed metallic flake from House of Kolors, and the red and blue are urethane kandy top coats from House of Kolors.... they were horrible smelling for hours after spraying them!

He has the single tires on the front, double rear tires, chrome rims, etc.

Let me know your thoughts:

Thanks guys.... I look at this from over a year ago and it looks like crap to me. I want to do another one with what I have learned in the past year.

[curse007]

Great Paint apps. Looks really clean.

[jbarb78]

Wow, that paint is slicker than snot!

[Hotwire]

God D...A...M...N!!!

[hater06]

I have to agree with everyone else. thi is amazing work. and holy wtfbbq those smoke stacks are huge!!

[speedleescustoms]

Looks like diecast, really outstanding work here... And what huge smoke stacks !!!! :D

[groovycustoms]

The ONLY problem I have with this is what mode to display it in! It looks absolutely amazing in both modes that it would be a crime to display it in one mode and not the other. INCREDIBLE paint apps!

[zim-5000]

Wow, just wow. :eek: I can only imagine what it's like in person! Thanks for sharing that beauty with us! ;)

[bugstomper]

The light up blades are nice touch! Makes me wanna do that to mine now!

[KasumiRieko]

I love this. Reason I joined Procustomizers forum was just to say that. I found this site through Transformers Live Blog and stumbled upon this.

I do have a question if I may... When painting, is there any sanding of the surface that is needed to let the paint stick better? I would like to paint a few Bubblegum Crisis Moto Slaves, but not sure of any special things I need to know before I go airbrushing it on.
