So, I've been trying to search through the archives, and have found a TON of different ESB Helmet paint color code lists... but only a few - incomplete - ROTJ paint color code lists...

Thus, can anyone tell me, or link me to a complete helmet paint color code list?

Humbrol, Tamiya, or Mr. Color if possible. (Tamiya & Mr. Color I can buy here in Japan, Humbrol I'll have to order from the states)


Thanks a lot!

Pip

That is the same recommendation and the same link I was going to post. I used this to paint my ROTJ. It works well.

After a further hour of searching, I finally managed to find that link as well.

Thanks a lot for your reply though! I really appreciate it!

While I put a pretty detailed list of predominately Humbrols in my ROTJ paint up thread, you will have to understand that ROTJ is a detailed paint job with a considerable amount of shading and topical damage. So some colours and effects are going to be a bit of trial and error. The best advice is to use the base paints as a great starting point, and do plenty of your own colour tests before you apply to the helmet.

^----------This. Lots of this.
Jayvee is right on. The ROTJ is such a dirty, detailed, scratched and damaged mess of awesome that templates and colors are basic guidlines. Get out your reference photos and get to work! I have a stack of pictures from almost every pic in the gallery concerning the rotj bucket. Take your time and be thorough.

There is a lot of videos that cover the paint job panel by panel
