Thanks, how can you tell it was repainted? Colour blind so i have some trouble with colour nuances, so mayby you see something i miss.

Yup a repaint with fake decals and fake domestamp. Not sure how to describe it if your color blind.

Thx, haha i see colour, but if the colour isn't strong enough or is between colours, i can't say what coulour it is, for me some times it looks some kind of green other times some kind of brown, really difficult to tell, but thanks for the help! :-D

It's not just the color but the texture , it's too satin brand new. The inside where the dome stamp is gives a lot away as well.
