Just one: don't.

What does it matter what the lad does with his own toys?

why would you want to? They colored them so dumb kid can tell them apart. All red like they are in the comic book. There a team and red is their color. Would look funny if your sports team wore different color hats.

Oh Andrew, you're so endearing when youre bitter :-P <3

if you really want to color then, you could use citadel paint, just remember to apply the comic lines back on, many have forgot that and they look absolute crap then.

but don't paint them of you only got one set. they might not look as good as you wanted them

kiwamu said the most important tips.

Here's a tip -- get some poster tack to mask the eyes. That way you won't risk painting into them! Not that that's a big deal, as you could just repaint them white again, but still.

It's a 2005 Robohunter Leo prototype. It was painted white for some reason and that AB on his chest is some kind of preproduction marking. I displayed him on the shelf next to the neca's cause he's white, but he just didn't fit in so I used a fine tip Sharpie to outline and trace all of the detail points probably taking away most or all of the value, but I plan on keeping it and now he looks cool and tough with the other dudes. Those are '88 Leo swords in his holster. Since it was a proto it didn't have accessories. Thanks for the interest Powder. Lets see some more of those Painted hat customs you do. I like 'em

[Powder]

Ohhh okay. Got it. It looks pretty dope man. Unfortunately I don't have any other pictures of custom hats as I hadn't had a camera at the time when I was doing them. But hopefully some dromers will take interest if I post a thread or somethin.

Nice job. Seriously. Since you feel you've devalued the prototype, you might as well paint over that AB with white, it's VERY distracting. The brown swords are a bit distracting too.

Seriously, though, I'm impressed. ;) At first I thought that was a repaint of the actual figure. Now that know it was a white prototype that makes more sense. I can't imagine having to repaint a figure to match the black and white Neca Turtles. Someone should do that to the very last Splinter figure that came out :)

Once i get some white paint I planned on making them match:)
