i think it looks fine Jamie . here's how i paint mine up since i already have black hockey masks it helps for the little scratches and stuff 1) i use a grey primer first 2) then base coat it with an almond color 3) i then do 2 washes of yellow , 1 wash of brown to darken it just a tad , then another yellow or 2 4) paint tri's 5) use a very very light spray of black over the Hockey Mask 6) use my dremel for the scratches where needed . this is why i said that using a black Hockey Mask helps as you don't have to use paint to make them stand out in black 7) i then get some soft sand paper and rub in the areas that show the grey showing through . i start going in a motion of towards the outside of the mask same way you would clean a CD . and then would switch to a circular motion basicly just putting my thumb on the sand paper and turning it while pressing down around where the strap connectors will go . now i know most people wouldn't even think twice about my method but i think it works out fine for me so if you'd like to give it a try sometime Jamie , go for it and see how you like it . again i do like your mask but it's the deep yellow and dark red tri's that throw me off from it
