Shorter update, I have the gray damage on the keyslots and headband masked and the maroon sprayed. For this color I used Claret Wine misted with Dark Walnut, which I think is a really nice color, although I guess I should have checked how it will look against the Colonial Red...

I've seen a lot of people use purple for this color, and maybe I will have to resort to that, since I still have a feeling this may be too light of a color. Also sorry about the lack of updated. Man, if only I could take off school to work on my super most definitely important Boba Fett helmet at home! How come the American Education System can't seem to understand that I am a complete nerd artist?!?
Jokes aside, I really want to take a moment to thank TheDentedHelmet not only for all the incredible information they've provided for free and the awesome community behind it, but more importantly its welcoming nature. You can't begin to understand how much joy it gives me to see the "Big Boys" taking an interest in some high school sophomore messing around with spray cans on their turf. I know how annoying us newbies can be, and believe me, I already have a few threads I wish I could delete, and I sincerely want to thank all of you for putting up with me.
Oh yeah, the helmet, so I'll mask off the maroon and then spray the red, which will be the last color on the red areas... obviously. Then I'll move on to the dome. I'm working kind of from the back bottom up and over the helmet, ending with the lower cheeks. I also need to paint the ears at some point.
