One word. One very expensive word.

Alumaluster.

I broke down and decided this was the best way to get the Beskar look.

Gloss black, cured for 48 hours... here we go.[ATTACH=full]206953[/ATTACH]

oh look, it's $5 worth of paint.... :'''(

Okay, but the difference is pretty crazy... Alumaluster on the left, graphite and 2k on the right.

And here's where we are today. Did a run of 8 casts, ruined 2 by terrible accidents (wind blew one off a high place onto concrete and the other was also dropped and cracked), 2 have Alumaluster with a black gloss under coat, one of which has also been lightly weathered with some acrylics (pictured below). 1 has Alumaluster, but it's over the graphite and 2k and I'm not a huge fan of the look. The rest still need black gloss, alumaluster, weathering, visor, and interior trim.

Thanks for checking out my build thread!

I may post more pictures in the future as I complete more helmets.

Cheers!
