Scheme Reference
The Dawn Guards generally use a white and golden yellow scheme. The yellow is painted diagonally across the ‘Mech from the top of the right shoulder to the bottom of the left leg and the white covers the lower half of the ‘Mech. While this is the standard scheme, the regiment has also been known to paint its units in primer gray, olive drab, or other colors appropriate to the deployed environment.

Primed with Vallejo Grey Primer, and then applied a mask of stick tack, being careful to try and keep a straight line. Applied an undercoat of Army Painter Pixie Pink, and then a zenithal highlight of Amsterdam Titanium White ink. Airbrushed the pink and white area with Vallejo Game Color Yellow ink. Removed the mask, then applied an oil wash of extremely thinned down Mars Black oil color by masters touch. Let that dry for 30 minutes, then used qtips andineral spirits to clean up the excess.
