Topic: Spray Painting Lego Bricks, Yes or No?

Recently I have started designing the main set for my first "brickfilm" in about 3 years and just as I was getting started I realised I would not have enough bricks of the desired colour to finish the build, I then had a brainwave and thought instead of buying more bricks of that colour I just go down to the D.I.Y shop and buy some spray paint in the colour I want and just paint the bricks myself, before I do this I wanted to ask if anyone has any experience in doing this and whether it's a good idea... So, is it?

I don't think it would be a good idea, the cracks between the bricks wouldn't show unless you painted each brick individualy. Check out bricklink where you can get parts very cheap: http://www.bricklink.com/

Dont do it, it causes them to not fit properly anymore.

Also, the paint may not be the same exact color of the Lego bricks, so it'll be noticeable next to an offical-colored Lego brick.

So, not a good idea.

Not literally dead, just no longer interested in Lego or animation.

Mmmmkay, I didn't think the paint would've effected the bricks so much mini/lol, I suppose I'll just have to buy 'em off Bricklink like usual. mini/sad
