Thanks, guys, I think I will try to hit it with some high grit sand paper at the particularly egregious edges. My paint got especially thick up top. I have to be careful as I have already rubbed some of the grey down to the silver with my steel wool job. I still have some more scratching to do as well as some touch up painting. You can't see it really well, but I did lift up some black to reveal some green, and I find that most inauthentic. I also need to touch up the cat scratch and the dent. I think I will do that after laying down the kill stripes. Or maybe I should do it now before the green layer cures completely...
It is starting too look like a Fett helmet. I can't wait to hit it with the red. And I need to start on the ears soon so I can run them in parallel. The 2-3 weeks off waiting for the silver to cure is kind of a drag. I did not silver the entire helmet because I don't like the idea of taping over the metallic layer. The silver comes up way too easily leaving it darkened.
