Sometimes to be asked for a race team doesn't have all the perks to go with it...
The Horror:
- drips in basecoat
- droops in lacquer
- overspray on trimmings, EPS liner, dual density liner
- painted over chin strap rivet, duct mesh
i.e. a cleared over vinyl bodge job!
Hilmit Doctor to The...
Well, well... you sound like your face been stuffed by a big butt! #location #location
I don't care for your reply either!
Your excuse is also veeery weak... Red Bull pops, yeah right because every single rider gets a hard on over it.
I ain't crapping on other artist, i'm plain telling to all...

So how hard can it be to design a special livery for 'Sik Mik' for Crankworx Whistler!?
- a design that pops
- a design personalized to Mick Hannah
- a true design not just...
JMD... from Germany.
Stunning, yes if you call stickers, waterslide decals 'custom-paint' !?
And there's a whole team behind Jens.
So yeah each F1 Grand Prix, Messr. Vettel has a new helmet.
Hence little time is left for those intricate designs to be 'painted'...
Those iXS Metis helmets are a nightmare to prep with those angular surfaces and beveled straight edge ducts.
(not to mention the 'mesh' in the ducts, woven wire mesh, sparringly superglue to the shell push to hard and they loosen... taping them off with crepe tape pushed inbetween the shell)...
No pun taken!
But err. the yellow helmets are in line with the thirty7even logo, it's what they wanted a fairly simple and bold design, speedstriped center and some sponsor logos.
Once you cut through the clear you'll sand through the decals in a instant.
Just put some effort into it and have some patience, a bowl with water and a sponge to remove the sanding residue (keep it moist) also helps... like with 'dry' sanding the paper will fill up soon covering the grit...
Custom means bespoke to a person. So love or hate it.
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
On top.:
Factory decals under clear... they were.
I wouldn't make a fuss of 'sanding through' carbon, that stuff is really hard.
The sanding paper will loose it sharpness after some initial...
I guess a finer grit took him too long for his liking.
(everybody wants to paint but none have time for prepping accordingly)
So the carbon twill will be showing through!?
Well sand out the rough scratches with 200 and move on to 400... you get an idea with wetting the nekkid carbon with...
Carbon or Composite!?
Depends on what is next... you want metallic colors or visable carbon twill!?
Grit 2.000 is far to fine, Grit 400 wet sand should do it.
I never understand people sanding a helmet, frame or whatever up 'for you', either to lazy using their hands and using a sanding...
