Hello Admins (Stormchaser?)

I've been listing several minifig components within my store, and I noticed
that for this item
 
Part No: 15339  Name: Minifigure Armor Breastplate with Shoulder Pads and Front Stud
* 
15339 Minifigure Armor Breastplate with Shoulder Pads and Front Stud
Parts: Minifigure, Body Wear

It's listed to have been released in 2014

I've got one with the 2012 date.

Can this be rectified?

Mine is Flat Silver.

Regards,

Paul

(Also, please check out my other catalogue suggestion?)

I'm listing some Friends Minidoll head accessories (bows, sunglasses and
the like).

I need to go the Friends section to find them...

Shouldn't there be a separate category for these, like the Minifig Head Gear
Accessories?

Paul

I'm guessing that no-one likes the idea as laid out above?

Try looking for the sunglasses WITHOUT going direct to the Friends section, especially
if you don't know that they are from the Friends line....

Which colour code will I need to use if I were to go down the route of getting
a small rattle can made up?

It’s “ink,” so I’d go with Pantone or/and CMYK.


  or would there be something smaller, like a a tester pot?

Eh, bring your parts to “test” and when the colour’s okay, just run!

I like your way of thinking....

Jokes aside, what does happen in this regard?

I've got 2 of the parts that need covering/colouring, and so what would be
the "correct" procedure to use?

I get paint mixed for my day job and the colour can vary a lot depending on the
item being scanned and the product it's being mixed into. It often needs
tweaking.

If available, the code for the official Lego colour would be a starting point
though.

  Hello.

I have a huge dilemma.

Yes, I know that I can do what I like when it comes to my own LEGO, and I really
NEED to find out the best way to get 2 specific parts coloured to the colour
I need.

I've built a Harry Potter "Knight Bus" in the same manner as the Creator
"London Bus" set, and this has been 99% successful, with the exception of this
part:-

 
Part No: 24599  Name: Brick, Round Corner 5 x 5 x 1 without Studs
* 
24599 Brick, Round Corner 5 x 5 x 1 without Studs
Parts: Brick, Round

This element NEEDS to be in Dark Purple

As I'm based in the UK, I really need to find the nearest and best product
to use to get this covered in Dark Purple (paint, or even some kind of wrap/lacquer)

Other than trying to get someone to 3-D print one, I'm stuck.

Does anyone have any ideas?

Thanks,

Paul

You can search under Matchbox White Van customisers and restorers, they paint
plastic all the time.
Or any other construction set builder.

Show us when it is done

Maxx

Not sure if your sentence works, but Plastic modelling is something I used to
do, but It has been a few years (decades more like) since I last painted a complete
kit.

Humbrol paints were the medium I used, and I'd totally forgot about how good
their gloss was as I'd very rarely used it., so it's probable that I
can find a similar colour, but that will have to be on hold at the moment.

I promise to put up pictures soon..
