Jumpinjax Posted October 29, 2010 Share Posted October 29, 2010 Well this SOB has been sitting on the shelf for a while, I think I got it about three or four years ago, I figure it's time to fire up the paint booth! I've heard talk of self-etching paints and such, what would you, the troopers, prescribe as the best? I don't plan to weather, so the less paint that comes off, the better. Also not wanting to fill in the cheek detail, but that doesn't flex as much, perhaps won't need special painting...? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AJCG Posted October 30, 2010 Share Posted October 30, 2010 Nice lid, very sharp pull!! I painted one of those a while back ago. I do not owned it anymore but maybe this thread will help you. http://forum.whitearmor.net/index.php?showtopic=1669 Also I heard that Rustoleum apliance exposy gloss white works very good for HDPE plastic.

RoCKo Posted November 1, 2010 Share Posted November 1, 2010 i used Rustoleum on my helmet too and if you go for paint chips liquid latex will do the trick to cover the chipped areas while painting! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm satisfied with making an "as-made" totally 100% accurate helmet. It almost seems like cheating to do damage on purpose, anyway Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
