Here are some pics of my other hobby, airbrushing helmets. This is my new helmet I just painted. Just wondering what you guys think?

Hey, I did it again. If someone would fix my pictures in the right way that would be great or tell me how to do and I will do it. I'll get it right sooner or later. Thank you for the help.

The helmet looks nice...


As for the pictures you need to put spacing between the img codes...Example


You probably have it like this...

{img}link to image{/img}{img}link to image{/img}{img}link to image{/img}


It needs to be like this...

{img}link to image{/img}

HotrodRaptor700,
Great paint job on the helmet!! Thanks for sharing it. You are really talented. Have you tried your hand at painting your Raptor? If you did I'd be willing to bet it would be a show stopper.

Nice job ! What kind of paint did you use? I did some spraying of heavy equipment, years ago. We used Imron, a very durable, almost epoxy-like paint. The only drawback was; the fumes are very toxic. Full face respirators, and exhaust fans, were required. I don't know if they even make it anymore.

Hey, Thanks guys on the pictures and the great comments! I use PPG automotive paint, it sprays great and is tough. I use House of Kolor clear, I like it cause it really brings out the colors. I've been airbrushing for a hobby for a little while and love it, I'm getting better as I go. Thanks again for the great comments and help with the pictures.

Oh yeas, Dupont still makes Imron, and it is still used on some of the finest automobiles in the world, like Ferraris, for example. We sometimes use it when repainting some of our equipment. Good stuff indeed.

We dont use any Dupont products, most of them are Devoe/ICI or Tnemec usually hi-build epoxies , zinc, primer, that sort of stuff
