Helmet A TRUE ILM lineage Jango Fett paint up in metal cold cast Wip

I don't mind the light blue myself but I agree that the contrast betwqeen the two blues is too great & the darker of the two has a bit of a green undertone to it based on the photos & toys /masks I have seen. It could be the lighting but I am reading too much purple in the darker blue. Looks great though, very clean job!


After looking at that again I think you are right, it isn't that the light is that bad but the contrast is the main issue.
 
Thanks everyone. You all have good eyes, I couldnt find the commonly used light blue anywhere in my area so I opted to try something new, I will have to get the color name. It looks good but is a little turquoise-ish. I believe I have since found a more screen accurate looking colour. I picked it up and the test spay looks better but I dont feel like masking it all up again. So Ill finish it with these colors for now.

I see what you mean about the darkblue now. For some reason I thought I had the standard dark blue but its not. The colors I used are rust-oleum deep blue and for the light caribbean blue.

the usual color for the dark blue is Rustoleum Royal Blue. And the light is Krylon Shortcuts Ocean Blue.

I think the Caribbean blue might work it does have a bit more green hue to it but the Ocean Blue and Sail Blue are not far off.
 
I think ill take another look for the Royal blue, I also picked up a can of rust-oleum brilliant blue I think looks pretty accurate to the light blue.
 
ocean blue is probably the closest to what was used, but the sail blue looks good too if you can't find the first. that dark blue you used is just too intense, though i think it would be a good blue to use on an arena jetpack.
 
Heres an update. Its turning out pretty good for a test helmet. Finishing it up with the original colors I chose and looks like I will have to move the key slot over a tad.
