Anvilbrother 0 #1 April 19, 2008 It started out as a white Z1. Used the Mirage color changing paint here were the steps. 1. Took liner, face shield and visor out 2. 1000grit paper to all surfaces 3. Cleaned with a degreaser/wax remover 4. 2 coats of adhesive promoter 5. 2 coats of black primer 6. 8 coats of mirage red to blue color changing paint 7. 4 coats of clearcoat. Sorry for the quality of the cell phone photo. It really changes color well in person. It has a bit of an orange peel texture on it. I think I like it that way. If I get tired of it or when it gets scratched up I am gonna wet sand it and really make it shine with a good bit of clearcoat to see how it works out. Postes r made from an iPad or iPhone.

hudsonderek 0 #2 April 19, 2008 Nice looking helmet Man, I find using very fine steal wool in between paint coats gives you a nice smooth finish. this took me three days to do, putting designs on takes figgin time. as you can tell it's got some battle scars, things can't stay nice forever Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
