Do you have the paint list for the ROTJ Helmet? I have a friend that's going to help me with paint. He just needs the list.

Hey Rich... I'm an ESB guy so I really don't know much about ROTJ Fett. I would check out the templates made by RafalFett. As for experienced painters who've done ROTJ paintjobs... PM fett4real, slave1pilot, and stormtrooperuy. s1p I believe uses an airbrush and probably the correct colors, f4r I believe has used both airbrush and rattlcans... they have both painted on commission so their input will be valuable... and stg even has a thread here discussing his rattlecan color choices for ROTJ.

Good luck!

DO NOT USE METALLIC PAINT ON ASOK's HELMET! (sorry to shout )

The helmet and ears are done in a "cold cast" aluminum finish. All you have to do to make the aluminum finish shine is buff the helmet and ears with steel wool. Check out my thread. It has some tips on the prep.
