sand them.redandblue wrote:oh crap. i'm having problems.. I was painting the helmet when i got this...
the paint in that grey area became stick and clumped together when i tried to remove it.. HELP PLEASE!!! i'm so mad because i kept on working on that part and nothing seemed to be able to fix it and i'm really frustrated
yah...i asked if u got pix. If i use acrylic then stick silver, also called silver visor right? Your description is too vague. (size? shape? bended? a photo solves the questions right?)redandblue wrote:9, its the same silver ones used by the clones in ep2, their visor..
Using sandpaper to smooth out the uneven paint will be the best option to restore your helmet. Start with coarse sandpaper and gradually use more smooth ones...
When painting, be patient and allowing drying between thin coats... Its normal for the colour to look uneven when the coats are thin... Don't attempt to even it out by spraying a thicker layer... If possible, use a primer on the helmet before actual painting...
As for lenses, you can improvise with .5 mm clear acrylic sheets from Artfriend at Bras Basah and stick on a layer of automobile solar film of your colour choice... Chrome ones are available too... You can buy small pieces of solar film at bargain prices from shops that provide solar film service...
Good luck!

Use a craft glue gun to fix your lenses in then... The lenses can still be removed when you need to...redandblue wrote:thank you! Oh and for the lens, i bought the reflective silver ones by mistake, i can use that for now but i guess when i hit 18 and want to apply for the 501st, i need to switch back to black.
