Thanks a lot guys!! Real easy fix if anyone\'s not 100% sure how.
You\'ll need a bottle of black acrylic paint, gloss sealer, a sponge chunk (fairly small, 1/2\" x1/2\" or so) a good clean rag, a small container, and a paint brush. Squeeze a little of the black paint into the container and add a little bit of water, just enough to make it a little bit runnier. Mix it up with the paint brush, and dob it on to Jason\'s head witht he sponge, (go a small area at a time) take the rag and dab it in a bit, then lightly rub some off, exposing just a little bit of the factory paint. Do this all over the head untill only the face is exposed, and if you need to, go over it again with the same method until it\'s as dark as you like. Let that set until it\'s completely dry then clean the paint brush up, and apply the sealer in a heavy coat where ever the black is. For the eyes, go over them with a very light black wash, but first water down the paint mix a bit more, so it has a milk like consistancy.
For the mask, I used an exacto knife all over for the shallow cuts, they run in a few different directions to break up the look some. For the deeper gashes I used a very fine toothed hack saw blade, and carefully sawed in one direction until the marks were deep enough. I then used the straight black acrylic and dabbed it lightly around where the straps connect to the mask and around the eyes, then rubbed it very lightly with the rag. To finish it off I took the black acrylic and added quite a bit of water, making a milk like consistancy, then dobbed it on heavily with the sponge and rubbed it off well with the rag, just wanting to fill the gashes with this first wash. Do a second wash, but this time don\'t wipe off quite as much as the first time. Continue doing washes until the mask is as dark and weathered as you want it!
