600 grit wet sand on the bondo spot putty.

Added the magnets to the helmets back plate. I add the neodymium magnets using JB Weld steel stick on one part, then I cover the magnets with clear wrap, after I add magnets and steel stick to the other side.

White paint primer.

Red enamel paint added to the general areas I want red on the helmet and semi gloss black added to the UA attachment.

Painted the back plate gunmetal.

Tapped off the sections I want to keep.

Semigloss black paint.

Tape peel.

For the main helmet, I tapped off the red I want to keep.

Did a white base for the gun metal.

Gunmetal.

Tapped off gunmetal parts I want to keep.

Semigloss black.

Peel off all the tape.

The inner ear piece was difficult to cover in tape, so I hand painted a white base with acrylic paint.

Then I sprayed the red paint into a disposable cup and used a brush to paint it by hand.

Rub'n Buff bassed off of references from the game and areas I felt were right to hit.
