To be honest, paint day involves a picture off Google, and that is it. A quart each of Rustoleum gloss white and black. Mix the two for shades of grey. Bills and eyes are not really important but make me feel gooder. A bit of my wife's craft paint in the white for those shades. Spray everything with craft clearcoat. These things get abused in my boat and last for years. Divers are the ones that really don't care about how fancy they look. Total utility but you can become intricate on the details if you enjoy iy
