Wow, I'm surprised how far a little paint goes. Love the look, and it's rock if you had time to repaint him in metallic burnt orange. Anyhoo, nice one.

Testors offer a metallic spray paint /laquer thar comes only in metallics. Orange is easy to find, I'll give a link if you're interested. Plus, they are certified by AMC, Ford, and GM.
Yes, they can be used on cars.

Here you go:

The Unicron head in the Primus pack is bigger than the normal head.

The purple on his face looks a little 'in your face' for lack of a better phrase, but the silver adds a whole new menace to him. Well done. But why didn't you do his right hand as well as his left?

Probably so it'sd still light up.

the reason for not doing the clear hand is b/c of the light up feature and also b/c it sort of has a chrome characteristic w/ the reflections and bent colors coming thru. i could put a light coat over it like i did my leader brawls clear parts. the lights still shine thru the silver on him. i may just do that. i wasnt going to put a purple "mustache" on him, but it really needed something other than all silver. but i'm happy w/ it. i guess thats all that counts.
