The netting not being painted on these nor on the series 13 predators doesn't bother me at all because the rest of the paint is still brilliant. Yeah I think it would look better painted or with the nets not being sculpted at all but at the same time them being sculpted and not painted isn't a deal-breaker. I just write it off as the netting is cloaked all the time because why not?

Hmmm...I can see the netting as being a fiber optic that can project a screen across the surface from fiber to the other. I think that works for me I can even buy into the fact that it is extremely durable even though it hasn't really protected them against physical attacks in the past. Bullets, Alien tail, etc... I think cloaking assistance works best.
