The painting of a Helmet<\/p><\/div>\n

Paul Cotton wrote this question: “I received your dvd and paint pens for xmas and the dvd got me inspired. I was wondering before you paint a motorcyle helmet how do you prep it<\/em>?”<\/p>\n

Well, Paul, here’s the simplified version:<\/p>\n

1.) Remove everything from the helmet (screws, padding, insides, etc.) Some rubber parts on some helmets won’t come off – in that case, tape them off.
\n<\/p>\n

2.) Wet sand with 400 grit sandpaper<\/p>\n

3.) Then wet sand with 600 grit sandpaper<\/p>\n

4.) Keep sanding until you get all of the gloss off<\/p>\n

Every helmet will be different – some easier than others. Once it’s ready to paint – now the real challenge begins! You know how hard it is to paint a round object??!!<\/p>\n
