That’s an absolutely bonkers read; thank you.

I’d be the dinosaur that chose on accident at age 8 and has been my favorite ever since: Parasaurolophus

The more that comes out, it begins to seem like an extended murder/suicide pact. On the other hand, he likely just believed in his hype and really thought he could slap it all together. Tragic.

Start with an undercoat of primer (usually available in spray cans) in a neutral color.

I’d suggest keeping your colors simple. A black undercoat with red for major areas is very striking and easy without lotsa commitment.

Don worry about messing up! You have lotsa little pieces and one bungle doesn’t look as obvious from afar.

And have fun!
