need input on paint scheme

[ArkaiHalon]

ok, after some of the comments on the Kraken, and mod'ing it to a green lux.
i've decided to paint it. here's some ideas I had. Black and copper mostly.

[Malaki Skywalker]

Second from bottom

[chase]

I like the middle one. That or the second from bottom. If you do that, I would paint the whole thin neck instead of part of it. I've got mine like that and it looks a whole lot better.

[Arm on Fire]

I try to think of function first so, I would say only paint in areas that dont come in contact with hand and fingers to avoid the paint rubbing off or getting nicked by rings while spinning. unless if you like the "weatherd" look then it dont matter.so i think you should just paint in the grooves, and leave the neck down polished.

[Obi-Dar Ke-Gnomie]

I like 3 & 4. The black grooves look best, IMO.

[Vazan Maceu]

I like the one in the middle. Second from the top looks nice too...

[Lord Maul]

I like the middle one the best. I just haven't ever really liked a color other than black on a saber hilt. Excluding the KP of course

[Darth_DevilGuy]

I like the one in the middle as well, simple schemes always seem to be the best IMO.

[37H4N]

I like 3 and 6.

[Hasid Lafre]

none of the above.

Paint the ribbed section like your showing and just that.
