Heyya Guys,
I brought a M38 helmet off the forum some time ago, it needed alot of tlc.
I'm looking to respray it but don't know what colour to spray it. I've got a Splinter Jump smock so it's more of a mid-war I'm going for if that has anything to do with it
Here's some photos for the curious
Before
After
I have sanded it down since taken the photos
Thanks
JD
I think standard RAL6006 would be correct. For a few years I wore mine blue, thinking that was early war. 
I'm so ashamed! 
You've got nothing to ein, zwei, drei, vier
it all really depends on whether or not you want it specific to a unit/time frame or campaign, the easiest option would be a generic paint job then just wear a cover (you can swap out the covers for early/late war) or you can go with a tan/sand mix or a two tone pattern or a two tone paint job with sand mix or a 3 tone with sand.....well you get the idea 
there's a lot of options but for a generic FJ i would recomend spraying it this colour http://www.epicmilitaria.com/army-spray ... -grey.html M38 FJ helmets followed the Heer guidelines when it came to painting helmets and as such M38 Blaugrau helmets didn't exist - would spray it using the paint above and add a luffty eagle to the side (again there's an early and late war eagle to choose from) and then use a splinter or green cover depending on the event 
before spraying though i would remove all the paint from your helmet and then clean it and prime it otherwise it may affect the finish
