I'm really glad I'm the only one who has decided to make their helmet clean without the "weathered look" I even covered the ugly dent it had on mine too..

[@mrslashman123]

Making mine trying to fine the range finder video very cool

[@arowe231]

Turned out great!

[@jeremy-asaurus]

Just wow! You deserve way more subs! Thank you for the in-depth tutorial.

[@Darkwingdad]

Thank you for the kind words!

[@jaredwilson6858]

Thanks for the tip on vinyl pinstriping!

[@Darkwingdad]

No problem! Just make sure you wait a good 24-30 hours before doing so

[@Endeavorfishing]

very nice

[@Darkwingdad]

Thanks man! I might want to link up & print you some fishing lures, what kind of fishing do you do??

[@OriginalSharpe]

Excited to see how you did the wiring and leds.

[@Darkwingdad]

Thanks for watching Matt! This video was longer than what I wanted but there were a lot of key painting parts I wanted to touch on, with that said another 10 minutes would have really been pushing it lol I will have the video for the rangefinder up on Thursday!

Cricut decals FTW!!

[@Darkwingdad]

Id love to say I painted them but sometimes ya gotta roll with the punches lol

[@dark_matter8420]

This might be a long shot given this video is a year old, but here I go. Basically, how do you prevent overspray on your paint? Do you sand the paint with a very high grit sandpaper? I've never used matte paints before, but I want to make sure I know how to handle this when it inevitably comes up.

[@Darkwingdad]

Do you mean texturizing that occurs where you paint it and the paint gets kind of gritty or dry feeling?

[@dark_matter8420]

@@Darkwingdad Especially on domes or sharp corners, when you spray one side, the part of the spray that misses the prop and lands on the back side, causing a very 'dusty', slightly textured surface. If that makes sense? Basically the spray paint mist landing on parts that already have been painted, and weren't intended to be covered again.

[@Darkwingdad]

@@dark_matter8420 assuming it’s a rattle can there’s several reasons this happens. 1) improper temps/too far from the model 2) low fluid/improper psi 3) improper position of can (keep upright all times 4) inadequate room to move/spray model With hvlp is eliminates all of these variables but one thing I can say is start spraying from the middle & work your way out,keep the can about 7-8 inches from the model & upright & plenty of room to move around the model or be able to turn the model freely. When I use rattle can this is what I do & have minimal issues.

[@dark_matter8420]

@@Darkwingdad Thanks a lot! I'm just going to do some tests, see how it works out. I think in general matte paints are a lot more forgiving than high gloss ones in terms of overspray, so we'll see. Massive thanks for your fast respone, even a year later! You got yourself another sub

[@Darkwingdad]

@@dark_matter8420 satin and matte are a lot easier to work with. A little trick to you CAN use clear coat on both to give a high gloss finish. Even if you get overspray with clear you can wetsand it out to perfection, & yes I have videos on that :)

[@dustinpoissant]

This is great, I am working on making model cars (rocket league) and am thinking about buying a cricket to print decals. Can you make a video more specific about how you designed and cut and applied the decals? Do you clear over them? how small / detailed can you go?

[@Darkwingdad]

A cricket is a great investment, yes you can clear coat over them!

[@gmtosh]

Great video as always. The vinyl trim trick was a great idea. It really helped me get clean lines around the curved areas. Question: Do you have any recommendations for removing residue from yellow frogtape? I'm worried that I'm going to ruin the paint.

[@Darkwingdad]

Thanks! I assume you mean glue residue? There’s a few ways you can attack this. Wet heat can often mediate residue. Use a warm paper towel and let it dwell, try rolling off the glue with your finger. Other products like adhesive removers can work but make sure the paint is completely cured.

[@dpm911]

why a different tent for each spray?

[@Darkwingdad]

Potential cross contamination of dust & particles. Filler primer by far is the dustiest. If you clean it well enough you could use primer & paint but clear you definitely want a proprietary tent. It’s just like with painting with hvlp i have selerate guns for primer, paint & clear coat.
