What is the best paint for the details on the helmet? I haven't been able to find any source of what others had used. Plus what do you recommened on the stomach paint or buttons, for the detail area. I really like the button look. Does anyone know a source for the buttons or can you get them at any hobby lobby type of store. I am really close to getting finished. I hope to be done in a couple weeks. Again thank you everyone for the help.

Do you have the instruction booklet for assembling your armor? If so, there should be a page dedicated to the paints that you are to use. Flat black and grey are the only colors you will need to use. If you need, I can supply you with the correct grey color at a later time since I am at work right now. (shhh) Just let me know. For the stomach, I would highly recommend buttons with the black heads. They give that stomach area a little dimension. You may find these buttons at a cloth store. I hope this helps. Let me know if you need further assistance.

I didn't get any instructions with my kit. So I have been getting alot of info from web sites. I wish I would have bought a kit all at once. I have bought almost all of it from triktoys but not all at once. I really thank you for all of your help
