I’m so glad our video popped up while researching this topic. You’re hilarious, knowledgeable and incredibly talented, you’ve definitely gained a subscriber right here!

Von allen Videos, die ich in den letzten Tagen von Dir gesehen habe ist dies mit Abstand das verrückteste 😂😂

[@ETOE]

Just watch the King bike paint video :-)

[@E9G]

I didn't know there was such a thing as polystyrene primer; I always just mask super carefully! Will defo get some next time I'm doing this style of helmet! Awesome result BTW Martin.

[@gumstarr]

Hahaha. This guy is the school example of what happens when you inhale too much toxic paint fumes.

do not forget to shave your beard before applying face mask.

... totally agree!!!

[@BikeSeatPhilosopher]

One of your all-time great videos, Martin. I laughed out loud at this one, which is kinda strange sitting alone in front of my computer.

[@petermitchell8831]

Awesome Martin. For years I have considered painting helmets but always too many questions. You have answered them all. I think the cheese and beer is definitely the clincher 😂. Keep them rolling. Love your work.

[@CarlG77]

Martin, your work is amazing, and I really loved the demonstration of safety and the use of proper primer 👍

[@rhinographix]

Question: How much time are you letting each round of paint cure before you start masking for the next round of paint? Great videos, very informative.

[@jaypax007]

I have the same question 😅

[@Gamebit450]

Great video. I am tempted to try this.

[@GM-yq9du]

I can see a primer for the polystyrene in your links, but not for the plastic helmet. Please can you advise what primer to use? I’m in the UK and can only seem to get the 2K final coat on Amazon. Any suggestions for alternative Neon orange paint for my POC helmet please?

[@daniekaGo]

Hahaha so great man!!! Many many greetings from Argentina!!!

[@asork]

Do i need the primer before the paint to protect it, or only masking with tape is enough to protect the foam of the helmet?

[@julianreverse]

You allways need a primer.

[@paginini]

That kinda good paint job want 2 see it more in detail

[@spotlamp]

How much time do you allow between coats before applying masking on top of the fresh paint? I've had an issue with paint sticking to the masking tape when peeling it off and I'm wondering what I'm doing wrong.

[@MirekSuchomel]

I was about to ask the same question.

[@Mr.-Fab]

Yeah me too. Would love to get an answer!!

[@marianocelentano2864]

Very funny video. Thanks. Made be my very first paint job try could be on a helmet. Great motivation

[@RohitMahadev]

What an amazing video . Hard work with a lot of fun 👍👍

[@KONTRAPodcast]

Great video! If you were doing a solid white paint for the helmet (cover and styrofoam as well) would you just cover up the plastic parts and prepare + primer + paint + finish everything?

[@brentnicol6391]

Martin I have one question to you. Are you sure your mask is working when you spray because I think you are loosing it buddy. 🤣🤣🤣. I just love the humour in your videos. Thank you for your time to teach us.

[@ETOE]

Masks are working if you snorkle like Darth Vader.

[@MTBTrailRider]

So... if you mask the polystyrene properly... why would you still need a polystyrene primer? Or is it "just in case"??

[@ETOE]

Because of all the keyboard warriors who want to see such a primer, and if not they give permanent fire until the keyboard starts to burn.

[@rafaelmattos86]

The best guy on KZbin! You should also have a stand-up comedy channel, LoL

[@stormrider878]

How long did you wait before you masked the paint you just sprayed?

[@ETOE]

five to ten

hi Martin, how much time do we need for a painted area to be ready for the masking tape and stickers?

Hallo, Ich würde sehr gerne wissen, welche Körnung bei dem Schleifpaf verwendet wird.

Brilliant video, hilarious and informative! Can I ask if you want apply decals, as part of the design, if this should be before or after the final clear coat? Thank you!

You can do them before and also after the clear coat as you like.

[@lecobaiano32]

Martin I just saw this explanatory video of you how to paint a helmet, but I have a Styrofoam Helmet, but there is one but its mark is as if it were glued with a type of plastic only that I would like to paint the Styrofoam now without attacking the Styrofoam of Capecete, applying Primer would be a good protection before applying the paint, what can you do about it? thank you

[@dinomaskot90]

Considering that helmet shell is plastic, would it be better to use plastic primer, or is the Polystyrene better choice for piece of mind? Thank you. I love your videos.

[@mcfc.artist]

Does any sandpaper work

[@ETOE]

Only the grades I mention in the video.

[@christophfuchs7665]

Awesome videos you make, I painted my bike after your instruction, and got a perfekt job, thx! Question: Do you sand the helmet after applying the polystyrene primer?

[@ETOE]

Yes I do!

[@stevetorres3041]

I love the bike and bike accessories painting videos. I just bought the SWorks Mirrow Saddle and it only comes in black. However, I would love to have it in a deep cherry red. It was made via 3D printing, so can it be painted? I am concerned that the rubbing and normal stretching of a saddle may not permit custom painting. What are your thoughts?

[@RidelifeTV]

Another great tutorial Martin !!

[@mitchb77]

Can anybody recommend a good primer that’s available in the uk?

[@amenrx1]

Great video, and very informative! Heres a question. I want to paint my helmet the same color as my bike frame, can i use a spray paint for bicycles on top of the polystyrene primer, or do i have to use specific paints from the same brand as the primer??

[@ETOE]

You have to use paints which fit the shell of the helmet.

[@nunofpinto11]

I noticed you always sand the primer in your other videos. The polystyrene primer does not need to be sanded first before applying color ?

[@ecalzo]

OOOmGGGG Incredible Job... WOWOWO you're SUPER

[@jwilder59]

Awesome Martin always wanted to know what it took to paint a helmet. To get a Matte finish just use a Matte clear? Keep the vids coming!

[@dianelabelle2982]

Just what I was looking for

[@malicetnik1]

Benutzt oldshovel nicht auch diese Spraydosen? Wenn da keine Zauberei hinter steckt, dann decken die ja echt super.

[@sitihoren]

Question: No sanding between primer- color and color- clear coat? Thanks for the video! We were waiting for something like this!!!

[@ETOE]

No the AC colors stick without sanding.

[@slava_trushkin]

@@ETOE AC = Acrylic? (probably seems obvious, but need to make sure)

[@c.t.r.l6551]

hallöle ... i see the video where you paint a bike with cans and this crackle effect ... is it possible to use this effect helmets or "plastic" parts?

[@ETOE]

Yes you can do it also on plastic parts.

[@muhammadadam4055]

If the surface is rubberish type do i have to sand it ?

[@ETOE]

Rubber ducky type? Great!

[@silcas]

Why the primer? You already put masking tape on the polystyrene

[@realjoy101_tv7]

Lol I love watching you. So fun!

[@ivorpeachey4366]

Hi Martin you never mention orange peel problems after clear coat

[@ETOE]

I have no orange peel problems. Apply more clearcoat if you have orange peel and/or do better preparation of the primers and basecoats if you have theese problems.

[@johangilliaert3499]

Cool, I want to try this, but the 2K clearcoat is quite expensive for 1 try (since you have to use it up within 48 hours), is it possible to use a cheaper clearcoat, and if yes, which one? Thx a lot!

[@johangilliaert3499]

I tried this today and applied the primer yesterday, however the primer does not adhere to the helmet, if I mask the helmet the primer comes off with the tape when I take it off...? What did I do wrong? What do you use to degrease the helmet prior to primer?

[@julianreverse]

Yes, use the Montana Gold clear coat, works fine but isn't as durable as the 2K system.

[@5ilentHunter]

Einwandfrei, hat mich sehr unterhalten. Mach weiter so :)

[@tomislavf.6706]

Crazy man!!!!🤣🤣🤣 Great job!

[@PK22-b7v]

Can you spray the 2K over the Montana Black?

[@julianreverse]

Never use Montana black!

[@AlexanderLabial]

Dude this was so well made! Really instructive and so realistic in how much time it will take to make a good job 😁 Nicely done 👍🏽

[@ETOE]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@losangeles9320]

Good point, the realistic amount of time it takes to do it. It's one of the one thing which is underestimated. The time. Cheers.

1:45 die Socke mit den Augen :D (Eddy !) Deine Videos sind einfach Mega ! Informativ und in einer Art, dass es nie langweilig wird. Top !! Was ich ebenfalls richtig gut finde. Die Links für EU und US. Eigentlich kaum der Rede wert aber sowas machen auch nur wenige. Die Sicherheitshinweise und das Beispiel ist sehr hilfreich , es gibt sicherlich viele die genau dort ihren Helm zerstören . Das Ergebnis ist wie immer ein absoluter Hit!

[@vipervermosa2893]

Hope you show some skills in painting bike rims. Especially color yellow.

[@wtfftw24]

How long you wait to put masking tape on a color? How long you wait to peal it and reach a perfect line?

I do a big poop, normally 30 seconds, with cleaning the butt 1.30, with phone one and a half hour.
