Well I got my new colors in the mail and got to work mixing the neon colors into the LA brown I have and voilla!!! it is perfect and I mean perfect!! Well perfect for the LA color that I like. This is how I remember my GIjOEs looking from way back, a nice dark brown with a really noticeable fleck to it. I have also fiddled around with the AA and it's coming along just as good! I took a vintage head with some bald spots and did a patch job, and my wife couldn't find the repair spot...so I know that the colors are bang on...and that ain't bad color mixing for being color blind! ;D My real problem now is that I seem to have gotten a bad batch of epoxy it won't harden properly and it just goes super thick and sticky. I have had to redo 4 heads 3 times. I have noticed that when I'm mixing the new stuff it didn't smell the same as the old stuff i was using. It's the same company mixed in the same quantities...so I figure it's bad epoxy..?
Anyway pics the heads will be coming up shortly.

Excellent. I know about the epoxy. sometimes it either gone bad or the mix ratio has to be changed, but you would never know that until it's set and too late. Advice given to me from an epoxy pro was toss it or use it for fill with a new batch. It sux because the stuff is not cheap and I hate wasting cash on things.
