Thanks! I hope it will be part of a complete costume someday.
A request; please dont post in the old thread on this topic.
Mutant Spongebob guy, I will answer here.
Yes there is quite a bit of difference between the ESB and ROTJ paintjobs. Mine is ROTJ. The dents are different too, yes.
If you search FP armor you should find his intrest/for sale thread and therein are pictures of both ESB and ROTJ armor dents without paint confusing things.
I'd link you somewhere, but the search function is better for your question.
