Lawless Scout Posted October 31, 2018 Share Posted October 31, 2018 Would the lighter one pass? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chopper Posted October 31, 2018 Share Posted October 31, 2018 Looks a shade light to me, but it's in the ballpark. It doesn't need to exactly match, but you want it close to the shade of the gray on the decals. When I painted mine, I used testors model master navy aggressor grey, which was pretty close. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dart Posted October 31, 2018 Share Posted October 31, 2018 The lighter grey would be better. Years ago, I just sprayed mine with grey primer. *Edit* Now that I see the other colours below, I think when I finally finish my RS helmet, I'll have to go with the Vallejo paint. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spike Posted November 1, 2018 Share Posted November 1, 2018 the correct colour grey is Pantone Cool Grey 8c, source for that is LFL Source book that licencee's get. Also LFL Art Approvals. cheers 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Digger Posted November 3, 2018 Share Posted November 3, 2018 The transfer/sticker above the snout is the correct colour aswel, is it not? I think the paint on the right of your picture is too dark. the new one isn't the exact right colour, but it isn't more wrong than the old one If you can't find Spike's paint, maybe your local modelling store has Vallejo. This comes close:Vallejo -Light grey RAL7001 pictures in google may be a bit misleading so here's a comparison picture (this helmet is Altman ) the bottle is vallejo. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
762s Posted November 6, 2018 Share Posted November 6, 2018 imo ... i think to many people try to match the snout with the bolt/decals grey color .... even i did at first till i started reasearching some orignal helmets. i eventually changed my snout color to a darker grey. if you look at star wars helmets then youll see plenty of shots with the snout and the bolts ... and youll see they dont match at all. the snout is clearly a darker grey. now to get some Pantone Cool Grey 8c and see how this color matches up to what i have 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
