Some of you guy's might have seen my recent complete backpack,

after finishing that i started on my GF helmet.

I am really pleased with the finished helmet and have got the exact

look i was after, very dirty and damaged.

Now i know most prefer a cleaner look but i hope you like the

finished helmet.

I started first with the scratches and damage with a fine brush and used a grey Humbrol Enamel model paint and gave it about 48hrs to dry.

I then applied Plasti-Kote Enamel Flat Black paint which was thinned out

with thinner, i applied it all over the helmet using a small sponge, i then gave it about an hour to dry, then i used a clean small sponge lightly dipped in thinner and gently wiped off the black to give the finished effect.

Its great because it takes a lot of tear and wear before it rubs off, but you

can remove the black at any anytime with paint thinner.
