Silver Painting - DX Gaburevolver, DX Gaburicalibur

Was watching the Kyoryuger series, and keep seeing the close-ups of the Gaburicalibur... and wondered why it looked so much more aesthetically pleasing than the DX toy... and then realized it is the (metallic) SILVER surface the weapons have... No wonder... So looked up a few pictures of how other experts paint up their DX toys to look better... and got very inspired after seeing the pictures, as they really did a nice job painting it... So today I quickly removed all the light grey plastic parts, masked the required coloured parts, and spray-painted!!!!! Fortunately I still have a can of silver spray paint with a finish texture that is "non-smooth". And this texture is almost identical to that of the silver paint Bandai has painted on the toys...

Work in progress.... Actually not much parts need to paint...


Notice the difference in unpainted (grey) parts to the painted parts... Looks so much nicer with the silver paint... But in the show, I remember the silver to be a bit more of ...eh... darker and "smoother"... something like what raw metallic look... but since Bandai already painted with the "non-smooth" type of silver paint, then I thought it might be better if continue with the same/similar type...


Done!!! Was a bit difficult to dismantle and assemble the Gaburicalibur, but luckily all parts and such are not missing... Happy... Only worry now is the paint might peel off... I did not apply a layer of lacquer as I want to keep the matte texture of the paint sprayed...

Even painted some parts to black (I think they supposed to be black in colour in the first place, but somehow unpainted by Bandai... I think...).. For example, the dinosaur's nostrils... hahahaha....


Gaburicalibur close-up view of the painted parts... Seriously, I still feel this is what Bandai should have done in the first place...


Because of the thin layer of paint, the mold details / words are still legible and be seen clearly...


Gaburicannon!!!!!!! Hahahaha....
