Can the Shield (Not sure what to call it) be removed? I wanted to attempt to paint it. Thank you <3

Edit- Also If I were to remove it, Could it be put on without damage?

Yes the armor is just bolted in place and can all be removed for painting. Your going to want to prime and paint the surfaces but if your looking for it to be revertible plasti-dip would be a good option.

Thank you, Ill have to research platsi-dip. Would it be the best option if I wanted to do flat white?

I have a guide here that goes over both General Painting and Plasti-dip, if you go with the spray paint option your going to want to prep the surface by lighting scuffing it and applying a primer before a flat white top coat.

I second Plastidip just because it's much simpler to prep, and if flat colors are your thing it does very well IMHO.
