In any case, I was looking at a restoration earlier on the board and it got me to thinking; why not try to restore my helmet to its original condition?:rolleyes:
I’m fairly certain that spray paint was used as there are no brush strokes and the paint does not seem to be caked on. There are some scratch marks I’ve circled in yellow below which show the original field green.
Now my concerns; with regards to method of removing the paint, there are all sorts on this board, but Acetone seems to be the general consensus. Is the method I should use? I’ve also heard boiling the shell, and paint thinner as other alternatives. What would work best on a thin layer of spray paint?
Finally, what is the best method to remove the fake decals? I have no idea if there are real ones lying below and obviously want to avoid damaging them. It looks like the paint job was done first, and then the decals were applied. Should I try steaming them off? Should I use a razor blade and delicately peel them off?
The liner is in half decent shape and I am 99% sure is all original. The chin strap has seen better days, but this can be replaced. Overall, I think once completed, it’s gonna look much better as it will be all original.
In any case, I’m excited to get started but would like feedback from the experts so I don’t ruin the lid. I know patience is key with restoration; lucky for me, I’m anal-retentive so that shouldnt be a problem!
