Finally located the "meet boba fett" video on SW.com. The borden and right ear bits are indeed metal : ). Im still going w/ a red and blue arrow as in one of my good ref pics it appears just as the ROTJ does..im not saying its 100% accurate but thats how it appears to me at this point. just layed the black down on the RF and will hit w/ one more light coat tomorrow.

I would not worry about any type of sealer or lacquer, I suppose you could if you want but I have never had to with any of the TB/TK buckets I have painted with this stuff, so that is about two years now.

Alright guys..after installing the visor and not being 150% happy w/ the gloss finish, well, I decided to uninstall, resand (dont laugh deadland and Fett7), and recoat. Yep approximatley 35 "re-coats" : ). FINALLY im happy, well about 140% anyway but whos counting? Here are some pics..if you look closely you can actually see my reflection.

Hey Fett-LOL... The ear cap isnt attached yet as its already completed as well. Ive studied the video reference a dozen times and the only parts on the rt ear that are metal are the bottom as you see in the pic, and the detachable part just the bottom of it.Similar to the esb fett I guess. Thanks man!

Right the part on the side of the top of the right ear that is NORMALLY detachable is metal but its part of the budget you have...i dont really wanna photoshop a pic to show u but I will if i need to...look closely at the pic...the part of the bottom ear u RnB'd above it that whole piece is left metal as well, just tape off around it and RnB that part

On it...its like the ROTJ ears I think where the whole RF holder is metal and left metal doesnt make sense to paint it

but looking at the NON dented one I have a picture of on my wall it DOES NOT have that part bare metal...but IMHO this dented version that part IS bare metal

Look at the areas the part u made metal and the part thats removable that holds the RF are the same color...
