Will do. i'm going to clean the parts up and as soon as we get the wood burner going i'm going to spray (might spray on the porch as its supposed to be in the 60s until saturday and i hate painting even in the basement as it lingers).

im sure i dont have to tell you but... becareful with using spray paint around your wood burner. we dont want a house fire.

I'm on the other side of the room and we have a plastic barrier up to stop overspray.

lol. Well the paint went on semi okay after a rub down with goo b gone to get it off the plastic. i wasted and primed it. it pooled again in another spot so i have to retreat that one. I swear i'm going to sit here and shake the can when i'm watching tv to see if maybe the mix isn't happening right.

I used the Duplicolor Hot Rod Gray Sandable Primer for the first time and it's awesome!

Do you wash or degrease the helmets before you prime them? After you prime it, do you touch it with your fingers? That can leave grease on the surface and cause problems. I have a ton of old socks that I put on my hands to handle the part after I prime it.

Also are you spraying 3-5 light coats or 1-2 heavy coats? Lightly misting your coats and waiting about 10 minutes for the next one will really help out.
