I posted this in the wrong section I guess, but here is a link to my newest bot - RoboRAD. I am combining a RAD 2.0 base and a robosapien.

While some paint is drying I mounted my speakers and a cooling fan.

The speakers look pretty good with the flat black accent.

Then I mounted my vent grille covers. It works well with the silver pin striping.

So these vents are where the fan is going to pull the heat from the drive section. I will drill vent holes in the riser for incoming air. The flow should be good enough to cool down the battery, motors and motor controller.

I may have missed it. What kind of paint are you using. Did you use a primer first. If so what brand. It's looking really good.

It's Krylon spray paint for plastic. And I did use a self etching primer first.

Here are the abdomen pieces.

THen I painted parts of the arms with silver model paint. I'm glad to see my model building from when I was a kid finally came to some good use. haha

I really like the silver on there, and leaving some white was my wife's decision. I like that too.

That's looking great.

Are you going to put any pinstriping around the black? That would look pretty cool with the pinstripe top and bottom of the black, turning to go around the speakers. Just a thought
