Hi everyone- This is my first official repaint. I used RotF Chromia. I was inspired by the G1 female Autobots- I believe one was pale green and white and called Moonracer (but I'm only going by memory
). Anyway its only halfway finished- but here it is. I thought I'd show it off and maybe get some feedback?

Looks wonderful! The metallic green tires are a bit weird though..

Yeah, the tyres need changing, but otherwise it's looking good.

Very nice; clean crisp paint job and even surface. Amazing skill if you actually hand-painted it.
I dunno if you plan of detailing up the engine parts, but it would be awesome to see them dry-brushed in metallic silver.
And yeah, the tires need to be black instead of green.
All in all, looking very good. Hope to see the finished fig!

Hey! I finally picked this back up again! I took you guys' suggestions about the tires and painted them black.[quote="SKYWARPED_128"]Very nice; clean crisp paint job and even surface. Amazing skill if you actually hand-painted it.

Thanks and yes, it is hand painted (my hands shake, too).
Well here it is! More pictures to come soon!

The bike looks pretty cool in that shade of green, nice match with G1 Moonracer too.
Could you show us the robot mode?

Ok, a few tips.
First, the paint is a little thick, you might want to make sure you don't just slap it on.
Second, she could do with some shading. A black wash would do her miracles.
Third, there is a way of making her robot mode look better. Check out Jin Saotone's Chromia mod for how to do it.
Keep on truckin'!
