I've been searching for the same thing. The only one I could easily find is:

Unfortunately it uses a lot of paint mixing, but does help plan out the process.

I could try to remember how I painted mine, if you'd like. Is there a specific color scheme you're wanting to do?

Here's a picture of mine:

You might be able to find more pictures of it in my WIP if you want.

Hope I can help! :)

Wow !!! Looks amazing!! I am very tempted but i have already painted some of the haradrim the red colour so i think it will look odd if i don't stick with that

No worries. A really good place for a guide is the (I believe) RotK Journey book. If not, it may be in the Two Towers one. Maybe both. :? For the cloth and warpaint, keep to the same colors as the troops you've started. In all honesty, I think the Mumakil looks less intimidating without the warpaint.

As for the actual job of painting it, I found it easiest to paint with the Howdah separate from the Mumak as well as the base too. Use a big brush.

If you have any specific concerns please ask. Otherwise, I'll just keep spewing out random tips that you may already know about. :-D

I absolutely love the purple dragon motif. It is really unique and I like the contrast in shades. I just might have to copy that myself.

Now this is how I want to paint the Abrakan mamuk that I plan to do one day. Strangely I'd never even thought of distinguishing it with purple war paint until now 8)
