This is a custom I wanted to do for a long time. Once I bought the set of Rainbow Batmans, I quickly saw that I disliked profoundly the Pink Batman, and that he had to die for the good of my collection :). I already knew of the Zebra Batman thanks to a post in TheFwoosh, and after considering a few other Batman absurd suits, this one was the best :) .
I carefully sanded the figure and sprayed with white ironmongery spray. The spray was a success except for the cloak, where it became brittle, so had to remove it and paint by hand. After this, I had to resand it again, because the smallest sight of the original pink colour destroyed the effect completely. After painstakingly painting all the Zebra lines, voilà, Zebra Batman on the loose. I varnished after with Liquitex as this has to be the figure were paint rub is most abominable, and I cannot allow even the slightest scratch. A fun custom to do, albeit a more complex than one would expect.
Last pic shows base figure, and comic extract to show I am not loony, and the Zebra Batman exists :P .
