Took me a long time to get to it but I finally had time to finish the bucket. Looked high and low for an orange I liked but no hardware stores in 100 sq miles of me had anything so I just broke down and got a couple of cans of Montana Black. I went with Pure Orange for the stripes and I got a can of the Melon Yellow to redo the shoulders and knees with. I eyeballed the start and finish of the killstripes then attempted to do some math. I managed to mark off 19 stripes on the bottom and intended to mark off 19 on the top but I couldn't get them to line up (damn you compound curves!), so I just eyeballed it. I used the width of my masking tape as spacing and I think it worked out just about perfectly. Peeling the masking off was super satisfying.

After that I went to work with acrylics. I did an overall black wash, followed by some brownish-yellowish in random spots. I used a silver sharpie for the peeled paint details and white acrylic for the wear on the right ear (the sharpie wasn't contrasting enough with the gold.) I tried to stay as accurate as possible with the silver. After that I decided to go back with some nuln oil in the crevices. I'm very pleased with the helmet overall.
