Finally got around to finishing my 2012-style helmet. This is the fibreglass helmet available from snottysnowy on eBay. It cleaned up very nicely and came with a nice set of painting and finishing instructions.
Mine was painted with Rustoleum gloss black / balmoral red and then weathered with black acrylic and silver Rub 'n' Buff. The badge was finished with antique gold Rub 'n' Buff. The visor is a slightly cut down tinted motorcycle visor which I attached to the inside of the helmet using 3mm binding screws so I could remove / replace it if necessary. The helmet is lined with half-inch upholstery foam covered in black 3mm headliner fabric.
It's a snug fit, but that's all to the good as it sits very firmly without wobbling!
I'm quite happy with the way it turned out. Now on to the Lawgiver!
