Starchaser, the process couldn't of been easier. I boiled and popped her into bits and pieces then followed the instructions on the package. Left her in for about 3 minutes, I used a Colander in a pot so it was easy to fish out the multiple parts. rinsed well off under the sink and pasted dry with paper towels. Bending the joint pieces all the way one way half way through then all the way the other gets complete coverage. Red paint has always giving me a hard time, needing multiple coats. The painted parts of the figure remain unaffected, the boot cuffs, belt highlights and badge and letters on her chest stayed the same. I was shocked how red she came out using her yellow body.
