Now to add the smudges, rust, additional scratches and some washes and weathering. Not to mention the RF and stalk..... Oh and to do the inside and correct visor..... Weee lots more fun stuff to do[emoji3]

Looks amazing! That small amount of peeling paint near the range finger may be worrisome down the line.

Thanks man,
Peeling paint? Where? I cannot find any paint that may peel near the RF. I have rubbed the whole helmet down with steel wool to help even the edges but I may have missed the odd part, so the layer may look extra thick there?

No wait I see it in the photo now.....that's just part of the layer before I went over the helmet with the steel wool that hadn't been removed fully.

This h
Paint job is complete layers at the moment, with no topical paint applied (with a brush) that will come later when I do detail touch ups[emoji3]

I saw it too in the video and photo above, looks like a little flap of paint.

Thanks Skyfire [emoji3] had me a bit miffed on the paint and then I saw it [emoji1] I had forgotten that I had taken the photo just after I had removed the layers.... I had painted this over my Christmas break, about 10 days from start to finish... In between child and wife duties, ha ha. Taken a while to post... I will post finished helmet soon, just waiting on a new RF topper.
