So after a 2 year long journey to have my self built bucket (thread here: http://www.thedentedhelmet.com/f32/full-boba-fett-build-over-time-noob-48168/) I decided to play around with some paint on it! I checked out howlrunner's paintup and he only used brushes. Since I don't have a airbrush yet I decided I would try that method aswell. I had some tabs up on the iPad with rafalfetts templates and some tabs with terminal fetters "one last wafer thin ESB paintjob" and got started. Thanks for your inspiration and help rafalfett, howlrunner and terminal fetter. You guys are great!
Now please have in mind I didn't ain for 100% screen accurate on this. I can cast as many buckets I want and hopefully I will soon have my very own airbrush and then I will try to make a better looking bucket but I still want to show it to all that wants to have a look!
Masked off all the big areas and painted the base colors first.

I painted the colors on with a large round brush and then I smudged it out with my fingertips to have a more smooth surface. Then I polished it with 0000 wire wool.
Then I painted the slightly lager areas and then the small areas with brushes matching with the size of the area.
Hope you guys like it

Here's a comparison between the original and mine:
