Body: <p>I would like to make a custom paint job on a LEGO velociraptor (to look more like the one in the LEGO Jurassic World game), but I don't want to paint it myself because I can't paint for the life of me so it would look bad and it probably wouldn't move.

  In my understanding of the question, you want to take an existing [LEGO velociraptor](http://www.bricklink.com/catalogItem.asp?P=Raptor06) and repaint it, but you are afraid that doing a custom paint job will rub off quickly.
  
  There is no easy solution for this, but here are a few tips:
  
  1. You could send an email to the guys at [minifigs.me](http://www.minifigs.me) and see if they would be willing to help you with this, either as a one-off job (but it will cost you) or as an offering they wish to add to their collection. Their contact form is [here].(<http://minifigs.me/make-me-a-minifig/contact/>)
  2. You could try and do this yourself. Removing the existing print from
     a raptor fig should be relatively easy ([this article at
     Eurobricks](http://www.eurobricks.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=4878&pid=78048&st=0&#entry78048)
     recommends Brasso and a paper towel/rag/cotton ball) even though
     that is very mildly abrasive and hence might leave some minor
     scratches. [Brickjournal](http://www.brickjournal.com/) ran a series
     of articles back in 2008 about minifig customization - I found [this

  3. To get the finer details, consider using a Sharpie pen.
