Some of the helmets are on the darker, more gun metal, side. I do agree though, it probably should have been brought up a good bit in tone. I will also say, they must be using a VERY cheap metal paint just judging by the size of the flake. The fact that you can see the individual particles? Yeah.. that’s not too good. With a good metal paint like Alumaluster or Spaz Stix you have to get inches away from the surface to even begin to pick out the flakes.
I would tend to agree with MinuteFett, that the bits in the clear don't look like a dust issue, it looks like improper spray gun maintenance.
Dust in the clear coat is unfortunately something that happens pretty frequently. If you look at the screen used helmets you can find dust and on one helmet there are even fisheyes all along the front of the piece. That is not to excuse Anovos here, I do believe that the surface, whether it is dust or cured clear from the gun, is beyond what can or should be expected in the surface and should not have passed quality control.
I also have no idea how people aren’t removing that awful weathering immediately.
I really hope eFX does a better job finishing their helmets.
