I know there are loads of Megs customs kicking around these pages, but surely one more won't hurt. Besides, this is my first custom job. Hope you like...

Nice custom. Megs really looks good with a metallic finish.

Can anyone recommend a method for doing this as an amateur? I'm not crafty, but I really REALLY want my Megatron to look like this. Is this sprayed? Brushed? What brand paint? Where to buy? What is the base (acryllic/enamel)?

Thanks

you want a nice shiny megatron? it's kinda easy.

start by priming him with gloss fusion black. 1 or 2 light coats. Then sand those so that it is smooth as glass. Then spray a can of Alclad ($13.00 most hobby shops, aerosol can)
If you can't get alclad, just use Krylon silver, if you use Krylon, do 2 coats, 1st one light, then sand it will 400+ grit sandpaper (lightly, don't remove the paint, and asecond coat for finish coat (thickly sprayed about 8-10 inches from figure)

Did you spray paint or air brush, and how did you do that sweet neck mod?
