Has anyone painted Bud & Buzz..mine are in decent shape but Buzz in particular is getting a tiny mustache. Wondering what type of paint to use and color if known?

I know people have done it, I would like to know if anyone has an instructional on this, may paint mine as well. Great thread topic! 
They are easy to remove, just take each assembly out from underneath the playfield. I recommend leaving the gofers attached to the latch (the black tube part they are attached to). On mine, Bud was brittle and broke in half, I just ended up buying new ones.
After you color match and paint, make sure to put a clearcoat (or similar) on them to extend the paint life a little longer.
So FYI painted my Gofers here is what I used and how they turned out. I got the paint at Michaels Yellow Ochre color was very close but not exact. If you paint their entire cheek you can't really tell. I also used red and white paint pens to do their nose and teeth and then sprayed them with a glossy clear coat. Turned out pretty good.
I will keep you updated...for now only Bud is functional as one of my gofer assemblies broke 
Pretty sure I just need to replace the sping and for good measure coil sleeve as the gofer won't stay up. Parts ordered!
