Hi, I tried to make my personal paint mod on my DSSD Cameron.

I done this after 3 days of trying...

To me looks good (sure better than before) but not in all kind ambient light.

What do you think about it?

Looks great, the only thing ( doing this paint mod more times than i care too ) is the clumpyness the markers have after. Yes... the colors better, but the gen is perfectly smooth, so I've been trying this that and the other to get the correct platinum color ( which is almost like a silver pearl white ) and not have the clumps which is a giant neon sign " Hey..painted my bezel on my replica watch")

Here's what i got so far...

The first thing i found out was the " paint mod " has one big flaw. Its usually not Technic, or application. Its wrong from the start bc of the color. The way the gen looks dark sometimes in the bezel markers. The way in some light its a bright white, then off light is a dull silver. They're all characteristics of the color "platinum". Actual platimum, not (platinum silver, silver metallic, bright silver,) has a specific almost brownish, silver, whitish very shimmery color to it. A pearlized affect. And being in the motorsports detailing, customizing, and painting industry for years, its this pearl affect that gives the gen this color shifting, very specific appearance. I searched all over for the correct color and found an ink, BRILLIANCE PIGMENT INK, that has real platinum in it to pigment the ink. As far as application, lol im working on that and will share it with you once i have a system for repeating it
