Rolf Posted December 11, 2006 Share Posted December 11, 2006 A while ago, I purchased a GF which I painted with Krylon Fusion (river rock and gloss white) and added Keith's hovi-mix...great idea from TD-1536 BTW... I recently purchased an AP kit and started on the helmet. I took a pic to show how mine looks blue as well. I purhcased my kit about 2 months ago. I plan on painting it up but I'm not sure about the armor. I'm going dirty so I don't think it will matter too much and most troopers have said that the helmets were a different color than the armor so (hopefully) no worries! Harry Another question - have been advised not to spray armour for fear of the paint chipping or cracking. But if I stick out a mile next to the other creamy white TKs then I won't have a choice. Any other TKs out there sprayed their armour, if so was it OK or are you having nightmares with the finish and chipping? Once i also own two GF armors. Today i only got two AP´s. I REALLY like the "more round" top helmet piece better on the AP then on the GF. And the sharper vacum job as well. And yeah i dont think you gonna see the white/blue colour in a bad way when you got the weathering job done. All the best from here, and NICE helmet Harry.

oo-tee-dee! Posted December 13, 2006 Share Posted December 13, 2006 I've contacted gotarmor about these lenses and as yet no reply. Another TK on MySpace said his friend ordered a set a month ago and they had the same crease in them. Not good Hope I can get a refund.

TD-4510 Posted December 14, 2006 Share Posted December 14, 2006 Its hard for me to see the crease, can you show a better pic of it? Not that it helps you in any way, just interested! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SethB6025 Posted December 14, 2006 Share Posted December 14, 2006 You should just get a green welding mask or some acetate. Its much cheaper and you get a few sets out of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have searched everywhere locally and I cant find anything. Online they are cheap but shipping costs more than the welding mask does.

beerman667 Posted December 15, 2006 Share Posted December 15, 2006 Try here: http://ecatalog.praxair.com/storelocato ... egoas.html I got mine at a local store in Florida. They should carry a lot of the same equipment Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TD-4510 Posted December 15, 2006 Share Posted December 15, 2006 Cool I will give em a call! Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hellraiser Posted December 15, 2006 Share Posted December 15, 2006 Yep a local Praxair here in California is where I got mine too. Go for the 'number 3' darkness/tint factor on it, it's perfect....not TOO dark and not light either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SethB6025 Posted December 15, 2006 Share Posted December 15, 2006 I spent more on the shipping than I did on the mask. However; I spent less on all of that though than one pair of pre-cut lenses from the now defunct "scifilensguy". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
