So I was at the local hobby shop the other day talking to one of the clerks about my Boba Fett costume. I told him I was looking for US Med Green for my armor. I also told him about TDH and how a lot of people suggested this color for the main armor. I showed him the gallery and he took about 10 different paint bottles of all kinds of green and tried to match them up, none of them turned out to be as exact as HE wanted. This guy is a real stickler for detail. He then told me I should try and get a good shot of the armor color I wanted, print it, and go down to the local hardware-megastore and have them match it with their computers. I can then thin out the paint (non-latex) and airbrush it on. So, my main question: Has anyone done this? Where would I get a decent sample to print out that isn't too weathered or beat up? What part of the armor is the "real" color and what has been faded or otherwise altered? Sorry to droll on, but I was talking to this guy for about an hour, he really wanted to try and match the color exact with all the paint in the store.
Cheers!
