Okay, round 1 is complete...I mixed brown acrylic paint & water until it was thin enough to lightly sponge around the eyes, vent holes, & straps. I\'m using a mixture of techniques...I dabbed the wet sponge on a paper towel until it was nearly dry, then applied it to the mask. It seems to be working well. I\'ll wait until it dries, then spray on some clear coat...then attack it with some black paint in the same manner. I like the layer idea...gives it a nice touch and allows me to go slowly so I don\'t overdo it too quickly.
