Well when its used on Jango helmets the surface has to be super smooth to get a nice shine but it could be used for a more realistic distressed metal look by getting your ears smooth and then using wire wool to gently create scratches to emulate machined effects, you apply the r'n'b then leave it for a few minutes and then buff the heck out of it with a cloth or something, I think it could look pretty good

Nice work Gavin! Can't wait to see that finished. Are you going to buff the finish with T-cut or something similar?
Maybe i should try one of these...( off to the shed he goes )

Me too... if only to give my arms a rest!
I'm open to suggestions guys... would T-cut or similar product do the job? and I was thinking auto clear lacquer to finish?
Mt mate works in a Helicopter repair place and can get me some wicked buffing compound that they use on the screens? could do the job...
Maybe you should... off to a good start too I imagine?8)

Ok..
I went to the store (Halfords) and bought my self some white T-cut and started to polish the @#~! out of this thing...
It's only a small update as under closer inspection I found a couple of 'small' areas that I wasn't happy with...
But it's looking ok so far, what do ya think?
