feagajk 0 #11 November 7, 2003 I painted it myself...not real difficult just time consuming. Steps went like so... (1) Sand nasty paint job from previous owner down to the plastic using 150-400 grit. (2) Wash helmet (good degreaser / wax remover) (3) Prime with highbuild automotive primer. I did 4 light coats. (4) Wet sand final primer coat with 600 grit till perfectly smooth (5) Wash helmet (good degreaser / wax remover) (6) Paint with light coats (I used acrylic enamel PPG automotive paint) (7) Wet sand and between coats as needed 1500 grit (8) Tape off any designs with the blue 3M plastic tape and green 3M masking tape (9) Paint other colors with light coats (I used acrylic enamel PPG automotive paint) (10) Three coats of automotive Polyurathane (11) I took mine to a buddy who buffed the clear coat for me (12) Have coolest helmet at your DZ Thats the gist of it...if you have detailed questions ask away...

McDuck 0 #13 November 7, 2003 To use the common, youthful vernacular, "That is the BOMB!" I'm getting a Z-1 for my girlfriend for Christmas and I want to get it custom airbrushed for her. I just don't have the skills or patience to do it myself. Danm good job, dude.

ReLLiK75 0 #14 November 7, 2003 Damn good job! Awesome looking helmet. What would it have looked like if you had just stopped with the poly coat and hadn't taken it to be bufffed? __________________________________________ Have you Got Flare? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
feagajk 0 #15 November 7, 2003 Just as shiny. The buffing smoothes out minor overspray and all other surface imperfections. Well worth the 12 pack donation. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
