After seeing the final color scheme you want, the black/gray parts should be good on the red filler primer but you may want another primer for the yellow spots. Maybe white or another yellow. Lighter colors like yellow also generally need more light layers of paint but it shouldn't be an issue!Primer done. I hope the red filler primer doesn't show through the final paint. Might try to cover it with the grey after.
Good idea, wouldn't want those yellow pieces turning orange or anything lol. Thanks for the tip!

Thanks!!It looks awesome so far!!!
Thanks! It becomes much sturdier. The thigh pieces I had were very thin and could easily bend and snap if I pressed down on them. After 1 layer of fibreglass on the inside and out, it wouldn't bend and could survive decent pressure. I imagine if you put the fibreglass cloth it would be quite tough to break.That is looking great! How sturdy is the armour after applying the fiberglass?
Awesome armour! Loving the pink and cyan highlights on black, it reminds me of the cyber showdown neon skin. Seeing other mk7s is so extremely helpful for reference. For straps I just hot glue black straps with buckles for the chest and cod. Thigh piece is going to be attached to the cod with probably velcro straps. Everything else just gets stuffed with sponge and shoved into place lool--at least that's what I used to do with foam armour, not sure how well it'll hold with heavier 3d pieces.Looking great man. Did you figure out your strapping system? I used some button release buckle clips on my chest armor. I know the pic is missing a shin and the boots. But they are done now. Just gotta get a new photo lolView attachment 320323
Looking beautiful!! I love that gold you chose, what is it?Second coating applied to some of the pieces before I started melting from the heat. I'll work on taping the rest of the set and pick up the spray painting tomorrow. I can probably finish the third layer on the helmet and chest too.
Thanks! I think one brand I used was rustoleum gold and the other was duplicolour gold. Found them both half empty in the garageLooking beautiful!! I love that gold you chose, what is it?
