I sanded off the clearcoat a couple weeks ago, primed it, resanded it...primed again, and sanded with a finer sandpaper, then painted the face part gunmetal, and the dome part gloss black. Then I let it sit for a week..(almost) and last night I masked off the face. The exposed parts will be painted black soon.
While masking a chunk of the gunmetal paint chipped off on the lower left cheeck. Damn! That part wil have to be touched up after the black is done..but I am scared when I pull off the tape that more of this will happen which will make me VERY angry after all of this!!
Anyways..here is how he looks now:

What type of paint are you using?
I can't find the spot where it came off.
Was it bad?
I found that Plasti-Coat paint works good on stuff like that.
You lucky dog!!!
I wanted one of those :o)

Helmet only cost me like $75 I think...
I am using a tut I found online...recommends duplicolor...so thats what I have been using. The chip is under the tape right now...so I'll have to touch it up when the tape comes off. That step scares me!!
Painting black tonight!!

Jason, where did you find the painting tutorial at? I've got a cruddy helmet that I picked up that I would like to do the same to as well.
