How to make smooth recolor kanohi mask?

Hello guys, I have seen a lot of custom colors of kanohi, first found example, and the question is, what types of paint to use.

I have asked some guys who are making MOCs with custom colors and I only one answered, here is the answer:

I have only done a mask repaint project once for my infected Huna: 

 The entire paint was done using Citadel paints. I actually hand brushed it, and I was surprised at how clean the colors were for handbrushing. The mud texturing was from a Citadel texture pack specifically for that type of effect. Since it is supposed to be an infected mask I wasn't particularly concerned about it looking super smooth anyway, however if I did want a smooth color I'd go and buy an airbrush and use airbrush ready paints to get a crisp finish. 

As for color matching, I have vague memory of that being a topic over on the TTV forums once. Might be worth checking there to see if they have advice on selecting a proper color.

I use spraypaint. It's not always perfect, but works most of the time.
