So rather than cluttering up that thread, I'm starting this new one for the DDude.

Personally, I like the all orange "gear-up" motif of the Trooper CS-6 (aka Elite XD Alpha Trooper, aka XD-EAT, aka EXDAT). But for those who don't, I think it would also look great in darker more tactical colors like black, dark gray, and gunmetal blue. Or even black & tan camo. After all, it has that "assault blaster" look & feel going for it.

If you're like me, you'll want to minimize the time and effort of painting. So maybe a coat of metallic speck gray with a dark brown priming handle, leaving the grip factory black. Or maybe gunmetal blue all over, leaving the grip and handle black. Hopefully some of the other Nerfers here will chime in with their suggestions. After all, I'm an engineer, not an artist.

In the end, much of it will depend on how much time (and money) you want to spend. If you're looking for my advice, go wild !!! However, more economically prudent heads should probably prevail 😉
