Crow's final paint begins

I started on Crow T. Robot's final paint today.  He's going to be much more difficult to do than Servo.  The lime gold metallic is harder to work with, and has these weird pockets of black in it.  It's also lighter, so imperfections show up a lot more easily.  I've done three base coats and I've used the two cans of paint I thought it would take to finish him.  I knew I'd need more, since Servo took one a half cans.  I'm going to let these coats cure for a week, and then I'm going to have to do some sanding, and give him at least two more coats.  I've not even started on the arms.  Crow's going to take a few weeks to finish up, me thinks.

UPDATE:  I've started on the arms.  This base gold sucks ass- but since the arms are mostly covered in foam, it should be ok.
