Here ya go, Shivinigh.

p.s. Be careful with the vinyl parts.  It's possible they can melt the plastic where the two contact each other.  Paint all the parts of the internal structure to make sure, or toss the vinyl and replace with fabric.  All of my Patlabor kits are in bad shape.

would it help if I coated the vinyl parts in a clear coat first?

I'm not sure if that would help or not.  You have to coat the inside too.  Try some enamel or lacquer paint on a scrap of the vinyl.

If you aren't in a hurry to build the kit, take a piece of parts tree an do a test.  Paint some, clear coat some, and leave some bare, and leave them in contact with the vinyl for a few weeks.

Those parts are so stiff, it makes posing the models difficult.  My Griffon's legs were always spread, so I couldn't make any dramatic poses. :(
