So I picked up this chinasaur and wanted to repaint it but would like some ideas for the colors I would use. So any ideas? Thanks! ^-^

jooooo

Maybe a brown base with the osteoderms a cream color, like a baby tapir or deer, camouflage.

Or make the part of the animal without armor or osteoderms a brown or grey with black rings around the osteoderms and brightly colored osteoderms, a bit like a leopard.

This for example:


Those are indeed good colours! To make it really pop, you could up the contrast between pale and dark brown and add a reddish streak along the brows and sides. I've also got a feeling that greys, whites/creams and blues might look nice, but that could just be me because of how I did my first Ankylosaur custom. ;)
UPDATE - Where've I been, my other hobbies, and how to navigate my Flickr:
