Well here is yet another Year of the Horse MP10 Optimus Prime repaint. I did this project over a weekend, and originally I only thought about repainting the area around his eyes and the eyes themselves. But after that I thought why not just repaint all the red and strip the gold parts then paint those parts silver. To start I completely disassembled the figure and to keep from having a clearance issues I stripped all the gold chrome by soaking them in oven cleaner. Then I masked all the parts and sprayed them Dulpi-color red automotive paint. After putting him back together I'm really happy with the end results and I really like the darker blue on Prime. To me the Darker blue kind of gives it a G2 Comic Prime look to it, so I may end up painting the trailer in G2 colors.

Very nice job!

Now all it needs is the leg grills painted the
same matching silver, then this will be perfect!

Again, very nice job, and you have great paint skills!

Cool. I'm going to repaint mine too someday. Was it hard to disassemble him?

Thanks It wasn't too tough to disassemble him at all. There were a few pins that was a little tricky, but nothing too complex.

Thanks I just wanted to give him a paint job that I actually wanted instead of what they gave us.

Thanks I was worried about taking it apart as well, but it's actually not as complex once you get it apart.
