Painted this one for the Mrs.

My helmets are not totally matt before I clear them I would say more of a satin to semi gloss so not sure if spraying over matt would come out full gloss but, I would expect it to. When I use the spraymax 2k glamor I usually lay down a light first coat then let it get just beyond tacky and do a...

I can actually still buy it at my local auto paint store in CA which is surprising!

Createx acrylic. Spraymax 2k clear for the finish.

Well I finished the second helmet and it was a nightmare! Originally this helmet had lots of graphics on it and I don't think I sanded some of them off well enough so when I pulled off some off my mask it pulled off some of my paint and the original paint:mad: It meant I had to sand down some...

Just started another helmet. A little more intricate this time.

Very nice looking project:)

That Velo is awesome!!!

Love it!

Photo shoot for the build today! Pro pics to come later.

Finally got my seat done. It's not perfect but it will be fine for this project. I think I would rather make tanks than seats, it was quite a task.

Thanks for the reply! I am by no means an artist, just looking to do some fairly simple helmet painting. That's some awesome work right there:cool:
