I recently helped out [USER=11667]Gionny[/USER] with his ROTJ helmet paint up and I wanted to share some paint changes that worked out, especially since they do not include Humbrol or Rustoleum. So while it is fresh in my head, I decided to document it before I forgot.
Here is my ROTJ Helmet Paintlist:
Main Dome and Lower Cheeks: Tamiya Field Grey Spray Can (TS-78) replaced Rustoleum Spruce Green
***NOTE Tamiya Field Grey Spray and Bottle Paint for airbrushing dry very differently. The bottle dries much darker and a few shades different.

Upper Cheeks:Tamiya Sea Blue (XF-17)-Acrylic Airbrush Bottle
Kill Stripes: Model Master International Orange-Acrylic Airbrush Bottle
