As I near the completion of my ESB Fett, I tried to tone down the paint with steel wool, to no avail, I couldn't really tell a difference, what else can I do?
Any pictures of the helmet? When you say 'tone down' what are you trying to achieve? I have found that depending on the grade of wire wool and the amount you use it, you can almost polish the surface, which deepens overall tone and levels the surface...
