Unweathered and missing an earcap, but I still love it. Ignore everything from the neck down, it'll be gone soon...
All cold cast polished with Mothers Alu Polish....

For the cold cast, I just wetsanded the helmet with varying grades of steel wool, no sandpaper at all, under running water.
After painting, pinstriping, etc., I polished the bucket with Mother Mag Aluminum Polish. Awesome stuff. Didnt hurt the paint or the pinstripes.
It beats any RnB finish Iver ever been able to accomplish!
And, yes, there are some paint flaws - but, hey, thats what weathering is for!!!!
The colors are Turos picks - Ocean blue Krylon and Royal Blue Rustoleum.
Thanks FP!

Beautiful, nice work with the polish :thumbsup
