Day 8:
Bought some Plasti-Dip - going to use it for the brow and mouth - figured it would give the helmet a nice texture to it
Haven't decided to use it on the interior yet - I know it's popular but like the lady at Home Depot said: it would make the helmet very hot. If I do I might have to buy padding but that's money sooo we'll see.
Preparation:
Result:
The Plasti-Dip gave the brow and mouth a nice glossy rubbery look which is great because that's how it looks on the reference picture. However the mouth is a little too sharp and the tape didn't cover enough so I'm going to have to paint the corners white again.
Again, the brow paint came right off when I removed the painters tape. Fool me once fool me twice eh? It's the same spot too so I guess the plastic there is strange or something. In any case I have to paint it again :facepalm
It also probably didn't help that the plasti-dip advertises "easy peel off" (but then why have the paint at all then? What's the point of using it - idk)
Also I failed to cover everything so some paint got on the helmet
However I'm not too upset about this because I was going to do a light spray around the helmet towards the end anyways - give it a nice ashy look
