I used Krylon Fusion rattle cans for paint. It is supposed to be good for plastics, hopefully it sticks to the containers well enough.
I know Gonks are usually very monotone, but I wanted to add a bit of color to mine. My thought was that Gonks are a sort of military ground equipment. The markings on that sort of thing are usually just stenciled on so while the green paint was drying I drew a few patterns on card stock. I'm not very fluent in Aurebesh , but I think this it a "G" for Gonk.
After the markings had dried a bit I tried a "chipped paint" effect on the markings. This was done by spraying some of the green into a small container and applying it with a sponge.
Once the paint is dried and the droid reassembled I'll do more of this effect with a metallic paint to simulate the green chipping off revealing the metal underneath.
More to come!
