snoberg Posted October 24, 2010 Report Share Posted October 24, 2010 What paint is correct for the ESB frown, a lot of the pictures I have seen make it look very matte, not quite a flat black but definitely not the testors gloss enamel I used on my ANH helmet.

poisonfox Posted October 24, 2010 Report Share Posted October 24, 2010 I used Testors flat black and it looks great, but Humbrol Satin Black is the best from what I've heard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

snoberg Posted October 24, 2010 Author Report Share Posted October 24, 2010 On a side note, are ANH vocoders supposed to be gloss black? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FIVE[501st] Posted February 16, 2011 Report Share Posted February 16, 2011 Apparently there isn't a testors "satin"... but I'm heading to the hobby store in a few minutes... so we shall see. I'll do flat if they don't have satin. Or just black satin in some other brand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
