Jango fett helmet paint colors

That was my whole reasoning. People like to snatch and grab and I didn't want for them to pull paint off.

Don't apply clear coat for silver paint or rub and buff, you're gonna have a bad time

How bad?

How are people holding the lens in?

if you use a high metallic silver base then sand with a 400 grit paper and then repaint and then lightly sand with 400 grit again (be sure to be mindful of sanding stroke/direction you can create a awesome realistic metal finish. Take a sheet/strip of sintra or anything close to the surface texture you are working with and practice on it first. the metallic when sanded actually turns into a metal base

Rustoleum Royal Blue and Krylon Short Cuts Ocean Blue. If you have to get a plain helmet use Rub n Buff but I highly recommend you get a cold cast helmet, the look is much better if you get the real thing. R+B is just for touch ups then.

Also for most paint information look through the WIP threads and you will find paint lists. I try to always put paint lists in mine threads.

also....if you change the grit size( say 320) you will add more grain to the effect , making it even more realistic ...fyi
