Once I got the gauntlets out of the way, it was time to move on to the rest of the body armor. So, that being said, here we go:
This is the very same armor that I make for everyone else. I can honestly say that I'm not only the president, but I'm also a client
The very first thing I had to do was shape the armor to my body. This required a heat gun, a few clamps and some patience. I didn't take pics of this part, but when I get to the backplate you'll see how it was done. After that was completed, I repeated the same process I did on the knees - Sand, prime, sand again, silver, and then matte coat sealer
After that, everything goes under bauhaus gold, then sanded smooth again and shot with matte finish again
Before that was painted, however, the silver areas were already masked off
Up next I lightly traced with a pencil the areas of the yellow that will remain exposed
After that is completed, the masking fluid is applied to those areas only (no need to remask the silver masked areas)
These are all now ready for some layers of green for the final topcoat...the ab plate will get a different color of green and masked off. Here's a few shots of that masking insanity
