Got around to adding fans to my helmet. This is the kit from Evil Boy. The fans are pretty quiet but there is a little hum but nothing too bad. I would rather have the air circulating.

I used double lock velcro for the battery pack to keep it in position & an industrial velcro with "T" hooks that is used for hanging things on imperfect surfaces. Evil Boy does send velcro with the kit I just opted for something I thought would be more secure.

These are all Rustoleum spray paints:

Deep Blue
Claret Wine misted with Colonial Red
Blossom White
Summer Squash misted with Striping Yellow
Metallic Aluminum
Dark Gray

Misted with Stone Gray, Dark Gray, & Flat Black for the weathering.

Finally mixed a custom reddish brown & a medium gray to use the air brush to give more it a dirtier look. I painted the whole pack the Metallic Aluminum with a coat of dull coat for the base prior to painting. The rest of the colors. Masked off all of the damage with liquid masking. These were the colors I thought looked good to me. Hope this helps.
