They quoted me $150 for both, but since they had to do some touch-up repairs after the guys at M&M trashed the helmets, it'll likely be more than that. I'll post when I pick them up on Friday.

I wish all painting was that easy. lol Looks like they just liberally spray it where ever. Looks awesome though. :love

If I see you at Dragon*Con, I will be sure to say hello. :thumbsup
 
Re: Daft Punk Helmet Build

Wow, that's amazing! Do they charge based on size? I have a couple of small bits I'd like chromed, but I always thought it was cost a ridiculous amount of money to do it.

Not sure. Next month I'll be making the hand plates and sending them out as well, so I'll make sure to ask about that when I'm there.

That's a scrap visor (note the webbing in the plastic) and a scrap mold I'm using just for fitment.

even still... I'm loving this. The visor is very easy to see out of - similar to dark tinted sunglasses. Its 1/16" PETG painted with automotive tail light tinting spraypaint. The sides got thicker coats then the front to make viewing easier.
