Hey guys and girls. I just discovered therpf a few months ago and I am hooked!
I got an ironman helmet from a member which I am finishing up this week and I am loving the look of it. I found the discussion on what paint to use here on the forums so I am helping to get similar help for my next 2 projects.

I ordered the white power ranger and green power ranger helmets from eric0101 and I need some help getting the colors right.
These are the MMPR helmets.

For the green one I read somewhere that people are using Rustolium meadow green. I would love more input and suggestions for that.
Also for the white one is there any particular white, gold, and silver that I should use?

I also plan on clear coating these with a decent quality clear coat from a hobby shop.
I also heard that people are using dupli color clear coat. Any advice on clear coat would be appreciated as well.

The plan is to do all the bondo and cleanup first.
Spray it with filler primer, clean up imperfections
repeat if necessary

Once its good enough I will spray 3 light coats of paint 10 minutes apart. Wait a day to dry, Wet sand with 1000 grit to clean it up, Respray if necessary. Wet sand with 1500 to clean up spray spots and then clear coat when all done.

Any input would be great!

Also the goal is to have a nice display of helmets of iron man, green and white rangers, and hopefully a nice batman cowl to complete the collection.

Thanks in advance!
 
Looking at the IronMan helmet, the duplicolor sunburst gold looks like it might work on the gold portions for the white ranger helmet.

Still hoping for some input from others who have actually went through this process.
 
Don't have a handy picture of my helmet, but here is the same color on my Iron Man face plate

I used to use the sunburst gold, but I find the Rustoleum has a better gold tone and better finish overall
