I thought I would tell people who don't know that to get your armor really smooth you have to wetsand it. So heres my tutorial.

Thanks a lot for this! I've been looking at learning how, but I haven't been able to find a vid. Is that block just a sanding block? And it's wet-or-dry sandpaper, right?
 
Actually, I don't recommand adding water on the helmet with a sponge. If you haven't resined or fiberglassed properly (aka air bubbles) the water will get the paper more weak. I also recommand putting a t-shirt or you hand inside the helmet while sanding to avoid warping the helmet with too much pressure.
 
@Dark Rouge:
Yes the block is a rubber/foam sanding block. And you have to use wet sandable sand paper. If you use dry it will fall apart. The black can usually be used as wet sand paper.

@LastSpartan:
Yes you should only put water on it if you know it is fully water proof and don't use to much pressure or you will warp it.
 
Yeah the paper has to be black, or it should be written Waterproof on the package or on the sandpaper.

I use 180 grid paper, and 1800 for glass smooth :)

Wetsanding is my friend :love: ^^
