I wouldn't be surprised if during production flexing the gauntlet caused a bunch of paint to flake off, so someone in the costume department grabbed a paintbrush to cover up the damage with the closest colour they could find.

Jango Fett Jr yeah I always thought it was a cover job more than an actual detail. It seems so out of place to the rest of the gauntlet.
I'll grab a brush and gun, see what happens

Jango Fett Jr - I think FettHam means this darker grey (Almost black) area, yeah? (I outlined it in YELLOW)
FettHam - Is this are area you speak of? If so, until you pointed it out, I'm not sure what that could be from, or what this person was thinking.
And in the 501st requirements, there is no mention of it.-Iron

Irongladiator it's awful isn't it
I'd rather leave it out, I might still do as I won't be going for 501st.

Whoops! The gauntlet thing is funny, but how in the world did they let him do a shot with upside down knee armor? hahaha!
FettHam,
Not sure if you seen this guys ESB build....

He's got some pretty mad painting skills - but on his first page he's got some pics of his Gauntlet, if that'd give you a bit more perspective.

The Builder ESB Build
Hi all, This thread will show the ESB build that I recently completed. A little background on myself and why I came to go after such an in depth and detail oriented costume is because of my previous build on my sons Commander Cody. We then decided to tackle ESB Boba Fett. I am an artist by...

Irongladiator yes he’s been a huge inspiration and wealth of information.
I was hoping he’d reply as he’s nailed it

Some info can be found here ==> The Empire Strikes Back - Boba Fett's on stage chronology and here ==>ESB main gauntlet damage template.

Amazing info as usual, thanks man.
I’ve steamed on ahead with the splat/stain. It looks good, but might look awful tomorrow when I look again
Sadly I didn’t see that template for the silver until done. Hopefully my eyeball version and other people eyes don’t notice too much.

They used that same grey on the jetpack I dont think it was unintentional at all...

Hi guys, it is a bit interesting as to why this gray area shows up on the left gantlet. As I worked through the build my main
concern was how things would look up close when trooping. As much as possible I wanted it to look like real layered paint damage
not just painted on damage. To that end the only thing about that area was that it matched the value of the green around it
very closely regardless of the light it was in. So I tried to blend it that way. If the prop dept. had to cover an on set repair quickly and didn't have
the green then a gray of the same value in a low visibility spot like that would work and also look intentional.
When trooping the inside of the gauntlets take some damage from the EE-3 but I let it go as natural weathering. Another Boba mystery
to answer.
Thanks for the nice comments. Happy painting.
