Paint Scheme?

Question

I'm looking into a paint scheme for my project Dewy. His picture is below.

He isn't finished yet but I wanted to start to get an idea. Here's his new head. it needs to be painted too. The display part(clear) will be tinted and will have leds behind it.

Any ideas for how it should be painted?

I like black and silver. But a red and white bot might be cool.

CardboardHacker · Answer

Ok maybe like the shoulders silver, the rad body black, the head a combo of black with silver racing stripes, the arms black with a silver decal(arms not yet implemented), the body extension(box) black with a silver fan decal and the ez-robot logo, and the rad base fenders with racing stripes and the rest black. Picture it and tell me what you think.

dark grey is my favorit.

Love the head.... Love the idea of using regular household items or consumer goods as robot parts....

CardboardHacker · Answer

Bought the head last August. It was an alarm clock. Ripped the insides out and left it 'till now. When I finish the main gist of Dewy I'll post my paint scheme rough sketch.

what about silver&gold ?

CardboardHacker · Answer

Here's the gist of my paint scheme idea. I used different colours of black to help divide sides. keep in mind that the white parts will be painted black too.  Yes? No?

Nomad 6R · Answer

when i use black,i use not chinning black.there is some where a topic off some one painting his car. he use awesome not chinning black.the stripes chould be somehow connecting. but thats just my opinion. you making very cool robot and you have very cool base. why cover that all up whit black?you will not see all the beuaty.

CardboardHacker · Answer

I can see your point. true DIY people like showing off what they build in a way that looks DIY. I want to try to make a clean designed robot.

Nomad 6R · Answer

Dunning-Kruger · Answer

DIY = Do it yourself....

Dave Schulpius · Answer

Yah, don't feel bad. I didn't know what that meant either. We're in the age of texting and that lazy from of shorthand is bleeding over into other forms of communication. I hate it but that's just me. I'm guilty of using it too. Thanks i feel better now.

Dave Schulpius · Answer

Back on subject; I like gloss black and silver.

CardboardHacker · Answer

Cupcake: Great drawing! How about the black line silver and the white stuff black? Dave: I agree. nomad: Don't worry. I wasn't sure what it meant for a while when I started.

CardboardHacker · Answer

Who noticed the funny head in the bottom of the last picture?

bret.tallent · Answer

That was the original box head, right?

Sudo the Banned · Answer

i tried one more time, did you mean something like this? i tried to make it look more like your original design

CardboardHacker · Answer

Dave: Yep........................ blush Cupcake: Yea actually! Hmmmm... I guess we have to have a vote on which one to do. They're both great! 1.  2.  Vote for which one!

Mohamed.r · Answer

Nomad 6R · Answer

pic 1 techno all is fine sorry didn see the pics had number

Dunning-Kruger · Answer

#1..... Less is more sometimes... See we need polls...

bret.tallent · Answer

You know, I pitched black and silver but I like #1

Sudo the Banned · Answer

i vote #1

Nomad 6R · Answer

dark vs light 3 to 1 how long will the poll last

CardboardHacker · Answer

I think it's pretty well done! the odds are in favour of #1 and I too like 1 so I think we'll use it! Thanks a lot Cupcake! Reason for #1: I found it follows the original paint scheme of the rad, which was nice.  Cupcake, I may modify the design a bit if I find it difficult to do. Also, I thought about adding something to the base fenders.  One last thing. Any ideas for what to put in the chest hole are welcome.
