Hello all! I've been wondering this through out my day, as I have a cool idea for a MOC, and the color scheme I'm aiming for (Maroon & Gold) isn't exactly available as official parts in CCBS... so I was wondering if anyone did any personal recoloring of the CCBS bone parts, or would know how to do so effectively and efficiently, so that the joints could still move pretty well without there being too much friction. Is spray-painting an option, or is there a special type of paint used for this sorta thing? Sorry if this question has been asked and answered before, and if so, could someone please link the discussion and get this topic locked? Thank you.

I was thinking to myself "What would Titan Takanuva look like if his armor was back to gold again?" So following Vaal's Forge and Foundry http://www.odysseyhouseonline.com/VMFF_Main_Gate.html (albeit, not as well as he would do it) and I got this (btw, all the photos resolutions are too large, so everything is going to be linked, sorry): Before (sorry for the lighting): http://i175.photobucket.com/albums/w156/minitahu/IMAG0043_zpsc72de47d.jpg and after: http://i175.photobucket.com/albums/w156/minitahu/IMAG0052_zpsf40ff560.jpg And the pieces that I recolored: http://i175.photobucket.com/albums/w156/minitahu/IMAG0046_zpsa4becffd.jpg Not impressive but I think that is more how Takanuva's armor is supposed to look like after he gets hit by the Klakk. (Sorry for the lack of dark gold like the older version.) I then thought to myelf, "Why not redo some of the armor on my character Tahrann?" So that's what I did (I know, he is pretty much just Tahu Nuva with a few different pieces): http://i175.photobucket.com/albums/w156/minitahu/IMAG0056_zps37dbfe5f.jpg But at looking at him, I said "Meh, Nuva forms are so late 90's." So I bought a few pieces from Bricklink and recolored those (yes this is pretty much a recolor of Lhikan): http://i175.photobucket.com/albums/w156/minitahu/IMAG0060_zpsc76f0b85.jpg And the armor, sorry for the resolution: http://i175.photobucket.com/albums/w156/minitahu/IMAG0059_zps07bbbf69.jpg Gotta admit, gold and red layering worked better than expected, though i thought a gold mask with a splash of red around the mouth would look a bit too... "intense". So nothing too exciting, but if yall ever wondered what a bit of spraypaint could do for you, then you could take something old and make it awesome. Edit: Tahrann 2.1: http://i175.photobucket.com/albums/w156/minitahu/IMAG0061_zpsf2517e81.jpg That's right, a Toa Nuva chest piece on Toa Metru body (thanks to this: http://www.mocpages.com/moc.php/229415) http://i175.photobucket.com/albums/w156/minitahu/IMAG0062_zps8723815f.jpg The chest piece actually came out more red than intended. Mostly because after I had it perfect, my dad accidentally knocked it off of the work bench and took off a layer of the spraypaint, so... it's red.... But he looks every bit of the hero I intended him to be. A good question though, should I keep or do away with the sportscup codpiece? P.S. Buy Rustoleum, much better than Krylon. P.S.S. If yall are interested into a somewhat lore friendly backstory to my character, I'll type one out, but otherwise I'm too lazy.

In Hero Factory, we only have a small amount of Mask/Helmet that are recolor (not counting the 2.0 heroes, if it didn't have black and silver) So i like to know out of all the HF Mask/Helmet, what mask do you want to see recolor and in what color. My be the Brain Attack Evo Mask recolor in black because it look amazing and 1.0 furno mask in purple because we have gotten some purple but not a purple mask.
