Wet sand, wet sand, wet sand.
Make sure your paints are compatible with each other, or your asking for HUGE problems. I used ALL automotive paints, even for the brush on parts for the mask. When you applly enough clearcoat it will cover up any brush strokes unless you want to keep them
FIRST I painted my dome with a sand and fill primer. Once I got the results I wanted, then I hit it up with a couple od coats of black SATIN. Wet sand again.
Applied another coat.
For BEST results I put my drying part in a HUGE Rubbermade container to keep the dust and bugs off it bewteen coats. Once you get a nice BLACK SATIN coat you are happy with, hit it up with a thin coat of automotive clear coat. LET IT DRY! It took me WEEKS to get the results i wanted.
Wet sand.
Apply another coat of clearcoat.
wet sand, Clearcoat, wetsand... You get the idea.
The mask takes some time to do, but its the same idea.
Start by painting the mask in the shade of Gunmetal you like. Mine was a dark gunmetal automotive paint.
HAND BRUSH paint the black parts with SATIN paint. LIGHTLY wet sand and apply touch up or another coat if needed.
Clear coat, wet sand, clear coat, wet sand... all while also storing it in the Rubbermaid container.
Trust me on this one, my mask had a permenent wet look to it when it was done. Any questiosn, feel free to contact me.
