Ah so that was your/my helmet in the background... I received some progress photos from the chromer of my own DP helmets and saw another, quite familiar looking Guy helmet in the background. I couldn't place it! Glad your work came out so well!
I don't have a spray booth. I have a backyard and a rattle can. hahaSorry for the double post.
It looks like you have access to an actual spray booth! That's pretty sweet. Do you work at an AutoBody place? How much did the chroming cost? I'll refrain from posting more questions for now
1) I used the ball-end grinder bit from my dremel kit and just had at it. Because of how deep they are, I put a bunch of bondo behind where the seams would be so I wouldn't penetrate through the helmet completely, I then took some folded sandpaper and smoothed it out a bit.Dude, Awesome freaking helmet! It's coming out super clean! I hope my helmet comes out like yours.
I have a few questions,
1) How did you get the lines around the ear and the one going up (Pic #2)? The ones that show depth to the helmet.
2) How did you bondo the ear area? (If even Bondo'd)
3) How did you make the circuit board looking thing?
4) How are you sanding this? Mouse/Palm Sander? By hand? Also, What grit(s) sandpaper are you using?
5) Roughly, How many layers of Bondo did you apply?
Sorry for all the questions, I just really want to make mine look like the real thing.
Can you take a look @ my Daft punk helmet and give me suggestions/tips or w/e?
Please and Thank you.
