Splattering your ESB helmet with love... and paint. A question for the experts.

Hey peeps, just a quick question before I randomly splatter my lid with grimey, dirty looking paint for added authenticity. How do I achieve this in a controlled precise manner? Airbrush or brush flicking? Airbrush preferably.

You could use your airbrush and an air filter. I've seen people use it on x wing model kits and it looks pretty nice.

Toothbrush

Toothbrush........... distance,angle,and thickness of paint all play into it.....

Get a test strip and practice first........

I use a toothbrush, too.

Low tech toothbrush has always been my favorite splatter tool.

Thanks all. Looks like it's unanimous. Toothbrush it is!
