The only thing missing or I missed (will watch again) is the timings, eg between coats, applying stickers etc. However, let's be honest here, I will no doubt make the same mistakes I've always made before in either poor preparation, too much paint, etc (patience is the key)

Hey Martin. I love how you are giving away all the information for free, but basically you're really showing how much time, effort and value you put in to your work. Then, the only people who would do this are professionals who getting paid for it or an amateur obsessed with doing it themself. This only shows why someone would pay to get the job done if they wanted it done right.

Vinyl decal question: what size (roughly) were the small decals that were placed around the helmet? And any tips on finding where to buy them online? I see a lot of people selling color ones not just cut out plain color stickers. I’d love to try this project out with a spare helmet I have. Thanks for any advice and awesome video!

[@NelsonsEstates]

Did you get a reply because I’m thinking of painting my helmet as well. I already have it apart and masked!

[@lederse]

Feels like I am asking alot of questions here... One major question that pops frequently is about waiting times 1. How long you have to wait to put on the stickers ? 2. How long you wait to remove the stickets after spraying over them ? 3. On the first "big shot" why are you doing that when the manufacturer recommends lights coats span across 5 minutes each or after 3 hours... I really like your videos. I'd love to hear more about what's happening between the layers and waiting times between coats.

[@v.4713]

I love the tutorial! I'm just curious how come you did a nonstop spray for the metallic, but interval spraying and 3 layers of the blue? I just bought Montana paint and aren't sure which technique to use!

[@chemohaan5718]

Don't know if you said it or that I missed it but you should tell people some spraypaint can weaken the materials of helmets. I learned this the hard way with a mtb helmet. Imaging having a big crash with a helmet which is not as save as it should be... Therefor if you wanna paint your helmet, always check if the chemicals in the paint are not to aggressive !

[@creepyname]

Where can i buy boiling hot water? I need it real bad to start my sanding.

[@sharkill02]

Painting by never letting the nozzle go.. a new technique for me.. will try it out.. thanks for the video!

[@FillyDing]

Why did the paint pull off with the decal when you accidentally let off the cap for a split second?

[@mi16chap]

I was also wondering the same thing

[@cup_and_cone]

I was wondering this too. Maybe the color layer got too light in that spot?

[@leehodge7907]

also curious about this.

[@RCnerd74]

I cannot imagine that this is the real reason... I always do canjobs. And i let the off the cap way too often in his opinion... but nothing happened.

[@cgrobe21]

Because since its aerosol, as you're laying down the paint it's a constant sheet of material. If you let off and spray again solvent comes out that propels the paint. It leaves a thin area and the paint isnt bonded in one whole complete coat. You see when you pain auto body parts from bare you wrap the paint around the corners and it locks the paint on. This is why when you pay for cheap paint jobs on cars they only last a few years.

Next best option is what I did in my garage to rattlecan a car. Go to home depot, buy sheets of plastic, hang it on all sides and ceiling. Throw water down on the ground to keep dust from getting kicked up. If you want ventilation, take two box fans and two central air AC filters, cut two square holes, tape the fans to the plastic, tape filters to the fans. Boom at home paint booth for like 45 bucks.

What about the surface tension getting damaged when sanding the helmet

[@TheScottishSprayer]

Yeah, Never do this people!!! Especially with rattle cans that contain a higher amount of thinner/dilutant just to get them to come out of the can. I've been Fully qualified painter for years and Would never put my life at risk wearing an 'altered' helmet. I've done a few that are just for decorative purposes. If image is more important than safety, then bin your helmet and get a cool haircut.

[@fs_seven]

@@TheScottishSprayer I was wondering about that. Would like to customize my helmet but have been wary of it, since all methods found ultimately affect the integrity of the helmet, be it by sanding or using paint that can be corrosive. And almost no video makes mention of this!!! I wonder about stickers though? In your experience, would sticker adhesive damage a helmet's integrity, for example, using duct tape all around?

[@tonemiester]

The Scottish Sprayer so basically it’s the sanding that damages the surface tension because I’m not very aware to painting helmets, or it’s the paint?

[@TheScottishSprayer]

Yeah I'd trust a sticker more I think but to be honest if the design is that big of an importance I'd recommend saving for a) a top end helmet with a design you love. Or b) a professional paint job by a helmet designer. (Someone who specialises in helmets only, and knows the specs of paints, reactions and tolerances) I follow someone on Insta who does a load of pro drivers helmets.
