Same as what i did with my Hikaru 1S, except i didn't paint over, just stuck extra medium pods on there aka DYRL? Final Assault style. My hikky 1J is clean cut though, and Millia, but haven't bothered to paint em clean yet, same again, used a sharp knife (scapel). And i haven't touched any of my Valks with the decals yet. I want to though..
