Hey Guys! Im new around this forum (TDH member for a while) and I wanted to show you guys a project that I'm working on right now.
Its the concept Boba bucket from McQuarrie. I think its one of the best helemt designs and I fell in love with it the moment I first saw it so I tought i give it a shot.
Im not going to post the whole progress because I've finished the sculpting today (actually 99% because I need to smooth it down here and there) but this is how it looks at the very moment:

The surface was exposed to moisture, or you didn't shake the can good enough. It happened with my Fett armor and kylo helmet. Try to paint when it's dry and hot outside. Keep away from moisture and shake shake shake that can

Hmmm..Try soaking the can in warm water before you take it out and use it then.. it will also prevent "orange peel". Soak the can in warm (not hot) water for about 10 minutes before use. Hope that helpsMoisture was not the problem for sure (LA dry as a desert ... wait it Is a desert) the lack of shake could have been an issue maybe i dont rember usually I shake the cans well. But thanks for the tip I'll pay more attention.

Did you primer the helmet first? If you didn't primer the helmet, I can see the paint having a hard time attaching to anything and if it was hot enough and dried really fast I can imagine this outcome...but I have only ever seen this when painting in higher humidity which it sounds like from the previous comments that it was not humid when you painted.
I'm loving this thread by the way. Get that paint fixed
When using spray paint in colder weather ( 60s) I too always warmed up the can.
I use a torch as well to heat the job lightly to remove he moisture in the metal
Granted the torch won't work for you on this application. But it may on metal projects in the future
