Custom painted welding helmet

[Hoosierdady]

I thought Id share some doodling I did in my free time on my welding helmet. I stripped it down, painted it with Gloss White for plastics and a good scrubbing with oven cleaner.

Then I used paint markers and clear coat to seal it all.

Looks good, give me ideas for my helmet. You a hot wheels customizer?

 

[Hoosierdady]

no, they're WAY to small for my clumsy fingers. I use to customize diecast cars and models when I was younger.

Very cool! How's the finish holding up to daily use?

So far just fine. Ive only handled it a handfull of times so far though. But it got dropped yesterday while my daughter was playing with it and didnt suffer any scratches or damage so...

Nice. Did you use automotive clear coat or the spray can kind?

 

[Hoosierdady]

spray kind. I used a Industrial reflective paint on it. Its very strong and leaves a flat finish to reduce the reflection from flash.
