Very, Very Nice.

You should do a Mark II, brushed metal
 
Re: IRON MAN MARK II , III , IV , VI finished helmet 3D printed Chrome Face plate

Any possibility of doing a MKII Chromed riveted version?

Leslee, not sure how you get that finish, but it's amazing!
That being said, there's no such thing as gloss finish on Ironman suit .. if you could do that MKII brushed titanium helmet .. I'd love to have mine on the way now! :)

Keep up your amazing work, this is gonna be your best work for sure! :thumbsup

If you clear coat over the chrome it should knock the gloss reflections back a bit yes?

I may do that , but i will need to make sure the quality of the paint after chrome , it will appear with minor issue that will be easily spotted , especially on the chrome mirror effect .

WOW!!! that looks awesome, like always fantastic craftmanship

Thanks bro .

Did a test brushed on the face plate that has chrome painted issue .... Brushed it with 800 sand paper , not really like results.. need more test on different kind of brush methods ...

Let me know what do u think .

The brush is not that bad but I would definitely go with a higher grit and/or I would continue to sand over the chrome to give it a more homogeneous finish. The problem still lies in the chrome underneath .. the movie faceplate had a much more matte finish overall so if you want to keep that chrome undercoat, I'm pretty sure you'll have to sand that faceplate a lot more. Give that a try and post the result.

Looks like the color looks much more accurate where it got sanded in relation to where it's still chromed!

Try clear coating it instead...with satin or gloss. I reckon it will dull down the mirror finish while still being reflective. Worth a try if you have some test pieces.

Thanks for the tip buddy , yea .. i will try to sand it more evenly ..... however , i will try another way that i did before on my previous version 2 Iron man helmet , which a layer of coating on the face plate ... will show both result soon . ;)

Re: IRON MAN MARK II , III , IV , VI finished helmet 3D printed Chrome Face plate

Heres the result of the Chrome face plate with a thin layer of coating ... no brush ....

I think this is much closer to movie look but at this point I'm sure you can achieve something close without chroming first, did you try a nice smooth silver undercoat then spray with anodize gold?
