Well as I've said before, painting is actually more about proper technique and surface prep, than it is about what you're painting. Or the paint itself, for that matter. Paint, like everything else sticky, prefers to adhere to rough surfaces. You'd have to rough up the parts of the Evader that are going to be painted by sanding them to a matte finish.

That's where Flat's idea comes in. You could selectively chose certain parts to leave clear by masking them off with tape. Kinda like some of the Doomlands blasters. That way you could leverage the coolness factor of the clear shell, and get a more tactical look.

Truthfully, I think the Evander should have had an opaque shell. It's quite pretty. You just can't tell without any contrast.
