Oh, lovely (the petting pic is AWESOME)
Now I WANT A GOLD DRAGON TOO!! 
Is there a special type of paint? Does it "hold" - as in can you tub him with the others and they don't get all golden?
We never actually painted anything... but we have several green ones..
The tricky part is to take him apart first... I am sure I have a pic of him taken apart, I'll have a look... Once figure out how to take him apart it is easy to do it again... if you remember how to that is... and I dont
But when I find the pic, I'll post it here and I'm sure it'll come back to me.
As for the paint, you paint each part seperately, in three or four thin layers, on each side... waiting to dry and then you put it back together... you best leave it for a few days, maybe a week, untouched, after that, as time passes by, the paint is better solidified on the plastic and, unless you scratch it off on purpose, its not coming off in tubs, nor left on other items... I think I used a water based colour spray for thins one...
