I use citadel paints pretty often, and I can confirm that kantor blue is a pretty close match for metru blue.

Not a paint, but still interesting none the less.
I found that dry erase markers turn my trans neon green part trans dark green and my trans blue parts a translucent turquoise. Still haven’t found a good trans purple marker/paint, but I found a good lead that can allow for relatively easier cleaning.

Wow, that looks so similar to the original trans-green! How well does light pipe through the back if you leave it uncolored?
Nice idea there! I tried a green Expo on a trans neon green stalk and it turned into a very similar color to trans bright green.
Onua looks cooler with dark green eyes.

That’s really cool! I’ll have to try that out sometime.

I’ve almost found a trans purple marker. Ultra Violet from Electro Pop Sharpies.
It only works on Trans Blue; if I use it on a trans clear part, it turns almost Trans Dark Pink.

When I painted my Noble Huna, I used some copper wire and stuck it into the hole in the stud connector that is on each '01/'02 mask. I also drilled a hole into the center of an axle so I could connect that to the wire as well as making the mask fit better on a Metru head. You could find another alternative to the copper wire and bend it, enabling you to paint the back. I don’t have any images, but once I do, I can show you the method I used. Hope that helped.
Also, does anyone know a paint similar to Metallic Green?
And Chrome Green?

what paint can I use for making something the pearl gold?
can I get a pic of that?
I think Citadel’s Glistening Green would work (Don’t know if they still make that)
Which gold is this? I can’t remember

I believe then that Auric armour will do the trick. Now, with citadel paints, thinking and drybrushing can be used to aquire a more Lego like look
I dont think we have that paint in spain

You can order it online, either from GW’s website, or like, Amazon
pfff 7€ for a lil bottle of paint, Ill think about it
Do you have any examples of what this gold looks like on Lego?
Actually you can just attach the stud to a Technic hole - it fits last time I checked but is probably prone to falling off.
Does anybody know of a good gunmetal (pearl dark grey) colour too?
