The area circled in your first image is white. It's the paint naturally chipped off reveling the gelcoat of the fiberglass. The chipping wasn't there earlier in production and it was fixed before filming. You can even confirm this because the tank is slipping out showing the white gelcoat, which it also does in the SE photo shoot - also white. There is a lot of smaller white chipping around the pack too because it was handled so roughly before actually making it on screen causing a lot of paint to naturally chip off.Silver. Some people believe this area marked is white, but I think it’s just silver reflecting light. There’s area of clean and dirty/weathered silver.
I went the silver route.
thank you so much#147 looks like it would work. They are weathered with black. I would use the same color for the rocket.

Agreed. There's so many scratches on the main body showing silver underneath, i found it easier to give the whole thing a couple of coats of silver before starting with colourSilver.

There is also quite a bit showing the white of the gelcoat by the time the jetpack is used for ROTJ. The entire pack is beat to hell.Agreed.

I've never had the pleasure of seeing it close up. It's little nuggets of information like this that this group is just brilliant for. Most post production reference pics I've seen are maybe drowned with flash or display lights that gives them the impression it's all silver or white.

There are some really great pictures in the gallery of when its been on display. Lots of the close up shots you can tell what is white and what is silver. Even in some of the promo shots. We also have pictures of the jetpack in ~1980 not long after it was painted. That would show the intentional silver clips. Anything added later was accidental and many of those extra chips are down to the gelcoat and thus white. Especially on the edges of the high parts of the jetpack as those are gonna get the most wear and tear.I've never had the pleasure of seeing it close up.
