EDIT : content moved to first post
Newbe here going to attempt my first build. I made my head out of fiberglass and I would like to match the gloss red finish to the rest of the eva foam suit. What process is everyone using to paint the foam? Plastidip adhesion promoter then paint? I know some people do mod podge. There are so many different ways I just want the simplest method. I am using the blue eva camping mats for my build. Big thabks to everyone!!
Hope you'll let me know if it's worth, and if it does not melt the foam down too much...

Pics of today's try at an unfold/build of a mkVIII helmet.
(I've removed this wip pdo. You'll find the final *.pdo file few posts below...)
Can anyone tell me whose model it seams to be, so I can add name and credit ?
Edit : ok, found. Thank you guys.

Well,- The thickness of the test build in your photos
- The supplier of that foam
- An advice for the scale factor to build the helmet for his head (51cm diameter)
Can we see a Rinzler helmet from Tron: Legacy? I would love to be able to build that this Halloween, but I'm not finding a (free) pep file anywhere and it seems like it wouldn't be too hard to make out of foam...
Well,
- 7mm (but it says 6,5mm) 2lbs/square foot.
- Brand = Domyos,
model = TG-100
supplier = Oxylane,
end user suplier = Decathlon,
localisation = Spain, France, Italia, China, Poland, Portugal, United Kingdom, Belgium, Brazil, Hungary, Romania, Turkey, Russia, India, Netherlands, Czech Republic, Sweden, Taiwan.
Yellow and blue rolls are discontinued.
But basically it's commonly called "PE foam" everywhere else.
- The default scale fits a 63cm head, for 51cm just multiply this scale by [51/63]. Anyway better is to build a fake quick helmet first, to be sure.
Why not. It looks like an easy helmet. Give me time.
