Watched this back when my daughter did her R2Moon. Just watched again as I'm working on my L0LA. Great video!

I love it! Well done!

Beautifully done! Thanks for the tutorial

Looks amazing great job

Looking forward to your weathering video

Outstanding work!

Wow! Outstanding job. What a beautiful BB unit.

thank you sooooooo much for taking the time to make this video

Nicely done.

I painted my own droid and I didn't have to wait 8 hours each time for paint to dry. A blow-dryer does wonders.

Super methodical and informative.. thank you! Now subscribed :)

Sorry for the late questioning, but do you use just a normal silver sharpie or a sharpie paint marker? Awesome work and thanks for the tutorial!

Normal silver sharpie

If the primary color is the same type of paint as the primer (Rustoleum paint+primer), is it ok to skip the primer layer altogether?

Will you be making a video about painting R2 units?

The same principle applies on R units. They just disassemble differently, split the project into the 3 legs, the head/dome, and the body. Cover/mask all electronic parts and joints. Painting would be the same, as they are just plastic

Is 320 grit sandpaper okay

Thanks for the great video. When are you going to do an R-series?

The same principles goes for the R droids. It's a plastic surface so it will take the paint the same way. Just remember to cover electronics so it doesn't get painted on

@@thatcornerincoruscant4995 I painted one to match R4-G9. It came out really nice. I’m not sure if I want to weather it. Your paint schemes are pretty original. That’s why I’m curious to see what you’d do with an R-droid.

@@paspitale I'm keeping my R2-D2 original because I have a Red5 themed droid escape pod. Follow my IG @thatcornerincoruscant and I post all my painted droids there

Just to clarify: In my case, I want to use gold spray paint on red and white originally colored parts of the droid. Will matte white paint primer still work best? Never done this before so I really want to be sure. If I understand correctly, it is best to use darker matte paint primer with darker colors, white painter colors for lighter colors. Is this fairly accurate?

I’ve been spray painting for a good while and personally not a fan of either. Light or dark grey are my go to depending on whatever’s in stock I just get one or the other.

lol !! Let primer dry for 8 hours? Your high dude.. Thought you said you liked paint that dried fast.. Primer dries in 30 min or less.
