        That jacket is pretty sweet too.
        Looks factory produced. Very clean custom. Love it!

          I'm guessing spray-paint. There are faux sprays that work well for plastic.

          Really sharp, I should add.

              I painted the head with Liquid Chrome. It's a paint pen, I just heard about it about a month ago. It has replaced chocolate in my life LOL. It can be found for about $13 on ebay and at HobbyHut.

              The black jacket was taken from a Venture Bros. "Jefferson Twilight".

                Awesome! Still cant believe with the popularity of the GI Joe 3 3/4 stuff that an 8" line has not been produced.

                  That Destro rocks, head, clothes and card came out sweet, amazing job and that liquid chrome would definitely
                  work nicely for a Silver Surfer custom.
