paint question

yeah as everyone has allready done a sunstreaker mod anyway i decided to do my own. though instead of yellow with a lil bit of red im thinking of painting him gold with ruby bits. i was wondering where i could get gold and ruby paint and what kind would be best to use, also as iv got a BT and an Alternator Deadend im not sure which one to use. probbably the BT ok thanks for any suggestions. oh on a side note whats the easiest way to remove deadends hands as im thinking of making an optional wrist laser.... and the suped up engine/backpack g1 streaker had. thanks for all and any help
