Last year, I have painted up a GMH into a (what I called) Supertrooper helmet. Rightfully so, someone mentioned that it isn't an actual Supertrooper helmet because I still included the dent.
Motivated by this and the fact that I still had a ToEleven ESB V2 helmet at hand, I have decided to tackle that project once again.
This time while getting rid of the dent and also making it as shiny and glossy as possible (to me).
The steps were simple but a little time consuming

The steps were simple but a little time consuming
- Evening out the wavy brow as much as possible
- Filling in the dent
- Wet sanding the entire thing with 240 / 400 grit paper
- Primer followed by filler
- Wet sanding with 800 grit
- White color (I did mess up a few times, so that was TRULY time consuming and nerve wrecking)
- Once I was happy with the general finish, I let the helmet dry for 3 days
- Wet sanding the entire thing with 2000 grit sanding paper to get rid of all unevenness in the paint
- Polishing paste
- Car paint polish
- Black acrylic paint on the inside of the helmet
- Installing the metal borden connector
- Hand painting all details like turn signals and a few more
- Installing the visor
- Certainly more than that, but I can't think of anything right now
