What color spraypaint did you use? I'm kind of color blind with reds and greens, and I've never used an airbrush so I'll be using spray paint. By the way your helmet is looking very nice. Are you going th wether it with acrylics? If you are I would recommend payne's gray over black. When it's used thickly it appears black, but as it thinned it gets a slight blueish tone that makes it appear more natural. I also like to mix that with a burnt umber to create a natural looking mud color. Anyway I'm getting off topic.iycis said:Thanks. Nope no airbrush. Just spraypaint.

I also like the mustard technique. I had only used liquid mask prior to finding this site. For me it's easier to work with and it doesn't ruin my precious brushes like the liquid mask.
