Title says it. Wondering if the ESB helmet was ever painted gloss white for the supertroopers, or if it was just primed and shipped off to be painted as Boba Fett. I know the Daydream helmets (PP2, Sandy, and ROTJ) were, as pointed out by boba87fett here, and I believe it's understood that the helmet used in the original supertrooper screen-test footage was the PP1, but I've never seen anyone attribute one of the supertrooper helmets to the ESB helmet. Some of the call sheets seem to refer to the ESB helmet as "grey," which I believe it's also understood means primered, but was this the raw cast being primed to be painted as Boba Fett, or the supertrooper helmet being re-primed once they decided nix the gloss-white design?


TL;DR: Does the paint layering on the ESB helmet go

Raw -> primer -> Boba Fett

Or

Raw -> primer -> gloss white -> primer -> Boba Fett


Thanks for all your help!
