Been off of the forum for a while so I dont know if this has been brought up so if it has I appologise. I was watching the Biography channel Sunday morning from 11-1. It was called The Inside Story: Halloween, and I heard Tommy Lee Wallace say the Kirk/Myers mask was painted fish belly white. Has anybody heard this before or can add to this? Thanks in advance and glad to be back here.
It’s pretty well known among the board members, though I’ve never been able to find such a color these days, and Tommy Lee Wallace’s recollections have varied over the years (then again it’s difficult for it not to given the circumstances), and then there’s the problem that the Hero mask might not have even been done by him, but by artists at Don post.
The best I’ve come up to get close to a fishbelly white with is mixing winter white, cool white, zinc white, a little interference blue and a little quaker or dove gray (the latter gray varies a lot, but the one I’ve used isn’t as blue as some others).
A little info Tommy gave Colby after he converted his mask for him.
I used Appliance White, as close as I could get to the same stuff I used back on “Halloween.” Couldn’t get Krylon, so I went with Ace Hardware’s house brand, which, apparently, is actually manufactured by Krylon.
I used just the faintest hint of shading on an otherwise shadeless mask, simply for character and depth. You are correct that the picture masks had no such shading on them, other than daily wear, and all the shading in the movie was achieved with Dean Cundey lighting.
The subtle effect you see on your mask was achieved by VERY lightly rubbing a wadded-up newspaper on the surface. The ink from the newsprint provides the coloration.
Good to hear from you,
Tommy.
Thanks for the info 
There is a wildlife artist paint called fish belly white you can get it from WASCO artist supply. You could match this with your example. Hope this helps
Thanks for the info I appreciate the input
Found the page, it’s under bass belly white.
Thank U
I suggest grabbing the Polytranspar acrylic lacquer instead of the Lifetone one. The Lifetone one is darker, and more golden and opaque while the Lifetone one looks much closer to the film color and is more transluscent. I grabbed both.
