Well, I got my second bucket in the mail yesterday, and I am very impressed so far. My first bucket came a few weeks ago; it was supposed to be a DP '96, but the seller listed it wrong and it was actually a Rubies. I sent it back and decided to upgrade a bit. I went with a fiberglass "mystery"helmet. So far I am veyr happy with it, though I have a few questions.
I am going to start with the testors Chrome as a base coat. I've seen on several threads that one should take their time with the chrome base. I've heard I should give a few days after spraying the chrome to go onto other colors. The question I have is, how long should I wait between coats of the chrome? Is it ok to wait a day and then do another coat? Or is it spray, wait 3-4 days, spray second coat, wait 3-4 days, and add other colors?
My other question is about the visor. I have already purchased a new visor, but I am wondering about the fiberglass piece that is where the visor should be. Is it better to trim this off now, so I don't have to touch-up the paint? Or should I wait until I am ready to add the visor to cut this part off? I have heard of stability issues, and I would hate to crack or break this bucket.
Thanks in advance,
Chris
