I was wondering if anyone knew an acceptable gloss grey for the ANH Stormtrooper helmet.
Research indicated that it is Humbrol Dark Admiralty Grey Gloss, but my local hobby stores don't carry much Humbrol and several online retailers seem to have it discontinued. With the online retailers that do offer it, it seems that I can't create an account because for some reason Canada isn't included in their list (even though they have "province or state" in their new customer signup area.
Researching equivalents, it seems that Vallejo, US Grey 71.047 is a suitable match, but I can't find if that paint is gloss, matte, flat, semi...or whatever. I'd like to avoid overpainting a gloss if I can avoid it.
Ideally, it would be an airbrushable paint, but I would even take a rattlecan or bottle if necessary.
