Okay, this next post may get kinda messy since this is where I started the paint work. The first picture is of the paint I ordered from Humbrol. I certainly didn't use all of them but I did use a lot of them and probably some leftover from my Fett build. I did a poor job of keeping track of what I used because there was a lot of mixing and trial and error so I apologize if I don't post which exact colors I used for what. I went with Humbrol enamels because that was what I used on my Fett costume and they're great. They were also the only brand and type I had familiarity with I just went with that. Also like my Fett helmet, I went with a layered paint job as opposed to topical. Looking at the reference pictures, I didn't see any other way of doing it other than layered if it was to look correct.
In the first few pictures, it looks like I had already painted the whole thing a mix if Silver 11 and Chrome 191 and done the initial masking out of the silver damage. Then I gave the whole thing a nice dark gray base of Gray 79 with a bit of Black 33 mixed in. There are lots of spots and large portions of the helmet where this color is at the base. After more masking, I then added the dark brown coat which was just a trial and error mix of various browns and Black 33. Th then added in the lighter brown mix which was mostly a mix of browns 70 and 113.
