DP painting questions

[ACSS2]

I just bought a DP 95 helmet(Finaly!) and I was wondering what you do to repaint it? What kind of sand paper do you use? What primer and paints to use? Where do I find a visor for it? Also I was thinking of filling in the dent, what would I use for doing that.

I have no knowledge of how to do any of this so I need instructions on how to do all of it.

Here's a thread which many of us used. It is a list of paints to use on an ESB helmet. Lots of good technique tips too. In the future, if you do a search you can find a ton of good info! Have fun!

I am going to paint my helmet the colors of Jango not Boba.

use 320 grit sandpaper on DP helmets.

Not sure about the sanding and painting part yet (I just got ordered 95' DP yesterday!!!), but I can send you to a good guy for visors. Let me know...

Make sure you coat that bad boy with about 5 coats of sandable auto primer or its wrinkle city lol, or worse the paint never dries.
