Helmets finished!
I had these two old hand-me-down helmets that were still in good working condition, but kind of scratched and nicked up a little. I decided to try to paint them to match my Rocket...
I stripped them down, masked them and sanded them...
Then I hit them with automotive primer, then light sanding...repeated that several times
I used Rustoleum Cobalt Metallic spray for the base...
After several coats and light sanding, I masked off the striped area and used Rustoleum Eggshell White.
Again, that was sanded lightly and hit with a few more coats.
The lines weren't perfect, but that's OK, now it was time for pinstriping. I used Prostripe Bright Gold Metallic tape.
Once all the pinstriping was in place, I put on several coats of clearcoat. My wife's helmet is now finished, but I have to rework mine in a few areas. The colors are not a perfect match for my Rocket, but they are darn close.
