Advice Best colour/paint for 501st markings

2 Upvotes

I'm looking for a decent paint and currently the ones I've used have either been too dark or light when measured against photos.

I was wondering what would be the best to get before I go out and buy 20 different colours, rattle cans would be best.

Costuming Keep the motivation?

How do you guys keep the motivation going while making your armor when you get 0 help from the official garrison or local squad? to the point of feeling ghosted.

Even after the money I sank in the project, sometimes I just want to drop it out of frustration with the overall experience.

Edit to add:

I already posted in my garrison, which told me to post in the detachment, which told me to go back to the garrison and the garrison sent me to the local squad. This hot potato ghosting is what is frustrating
