Dang sorry no one replied on this. I have used: Nail polish - 7/10 - It’s usually not opaque, so it doesn’t show up well on darker colors like black, but looks pretty good on raw/Ti/SS and is fairly easily removed even after years of curing (not sure if that’s an accurate term?). Enamel model paint (Testor’s) - 7/10 - Opaque, readily available in matte and gloss, stays on forever, but also stays on forever (enamel thinner got most of it off of a G2 Hawk I sold, but did nothing for any enamel left in the tiny groove inside the cup, had to discount the throw ;\_; but whatever). Acrylic paint (cheap Artist’s Loft) - 7/10 - Opaque, but does not apply well unless you’re already skilled in painting with it (I clearly am NOT, lol), chips easily, but is also easily removed if necessary. Overall I will likely stick with acrylic or nail polish simply because it’s cheap, removable, and cleanup is simple. ---

I don’t think I posted this in this particular thread. If I did, I apologize. I know it’s been posted a few times over the years. FH2 I painted like, 22 years ago LOL! (_holy crap I can’t believe it’s been that long_) - It’s a flipflop automotive paint. It’s actually **THE** yoyo that inspired Takeshi to do the colorshift FH Zero mods and then later Duncan did a small production run of the color shift FHZ. I had done another one with a black base, I think I gave it to Takeshi, which is the color he ultimately went with for the FHZ run. I much preferred the clear look more. ![5928314250_a0a9e8dd35_b](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/f/f/4/ff4e1dec948bc645851cd4890d6879da1c81f93a.jpeg) ![5927756809_63126b624d_b](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/c/d/d/cdddcdfcf32b9283400b3339637cff7c17e816e4.jpeg) ![8362940591_f6d6d092e7_o](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/f/2/5/f25a92b2f6324c237c893fe86915b90720c61b1d.jpeg) ![5927756325_c2a4762a4d_b](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/8/8/c/88c8b3ee09128f41c9df1193446f9d80153b138d.jpeg) ![5928314668_1983cf63a3_b](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/4/f/b/4fbf885f3fa48566044ded042775d212154465f5.jpeg) Cosmic\Nebula\Galaxy One Drop 54.
