Hey Derel, if you're interested, PM me for info on my painting services. I can do excellent custom paint schemes. Just PM me what you're wanting, and I gurantee I can give you a great price.

What he said. make sure the paints are compatible and that the temperature is right for the paint (not to humid). Light coats work best too.

Good luck, Pal!

I was wondering the same thing. just got my first bucket and wanted to know what color spray paint to use if any.

Depends on what style helmet your doing. I did ROTJ and used spray paints that Lynn posted on here. Search for helmet paint and you will find the list.

Good Luck!

I'm doing the ESB style, I will check there now.
thanx!

A while back RS spent a good deal of time comprising a list of colors and technique for painting an ESB helmet. I have found it to be very comprehensive and am using it for painting my ESB helmet. Many have used the same technique and have had fantastic results.
