Great photos on the IG site man! lol
I think I may want to attempt another ROTJ Fett sometime here soon, now that I got my base skillz down, but I'm taking a break from helm work, and actually converting a Revell 1/48 F-15 Eagle over to a 'realized' Transformers G1 StarScream build. Lots of styrene and bondo/putty work on this one! lol
 
Saw this on the RPF

I emailed them and asked if there are multiple casting colors available (keeping in mind the conversation earlier on this thread) and was told no.
In here, I see at least two versions of dark grey/black and the white ones I understand are raw casts, too, not primed helmets, since some of the white ones still dont have their visors cut out.

The white I believe are for painted commissions to replicate the original the grey/black will be for the definitive unaltered display option I think.
 
In one of their videos Rob says since the original production helmets were white (super troopers) all of their painted versions will be on the white casts. He also says if you order the raw and you are planning on painting it yourself you can request the white. The darks are for those who plan on displaying with no paint so you can see the detail much better.

Indeed, all the helmets were cast in fiberglass with white gelcoat on top, but the ESB helmet was painted gray before it was sent to the US to be painted.

Painted in the US?

Yes, all the suits were painted in the US (except the Supertrooper): the Pre-Pro #1 and possibly the Pre-Pro #3 by Joe Johnston (we don't know who painted the ESB, but some say it was Johnston), while the Pre-Pro #2, Promo #1 (ROTJ) and Promo #2 (Sandy) were painted by Daydream Productions using the PP1 as a starting point.
