Admittedly it's nice that ppl are getting rid of that HORRIBLE gaudy gold plating, but if I got the kit at its retail price ($150usd) I wouldn't paint it, but kudos to the guys that are fixing it.
You know you can do whatever you want with your kits since it's your kit that you bought it with your own money so you have the right to do whatever you want to/with it. But I can't understand why someone would paint a chrome plated kit if that kit already comes in regular plastic with a slight alteration in design. Why not just buy the regular MG unicorn and paint it up in the type of gold you prefer. Most of the accessories are not too hard to obtain individually like the shields. Why buy a more expensive version of it which is not meant to be painted over, strip away what made it expensive in the first place? It doesn't make any sense to me. I would understand it if this is the only MG Unicorn there is as gold chrome is not for everyone but honestly wth? Is it that money isn't an issue because even then you are still going to the trouble of stripping the chrome off which isn't easy. Other than for that the paint job looks good.
1. One can good at painting, but not good at customizing. Phenex and Unicorn's horn have different design. 2. Have actual blue psychoframe is different with paint the red one with metalic blue. 3. Again at customizing, back connector for two armed armor DE. Dunno if it use same parts as FA Unicorn. 4. Armed armor DE itself, which is limited edition add-on. Sure you can search it at YAJ or mandrake, but will the price of one DE same with manga bundled one? I don't think so. 5. Phenex's decal have 03 number and GR letter, which Unicorn and Banshee don't have. 6. And because s/he have the money so s/he have right to buy Phenex then paint it. It's easy. If you won't do as what s/he do that's just fine.
