Say cheese!




Alpine skier sponsored by a Dutch cheese brand, hence 'cheese head'; a nickname for dutch people since we eat so many cheese, at least some do.
(added some cheese holes)
POC helmets are matte finished, no gloss.

Haha are you suggesting a helmet painter is copying a helmet painter by taking pics using a pole (spare camera tripod?) infront of a wall? Lolz

Left most of my painting equipment in the states when I moved overseas, so I couldn't do much beyond matte black on this one. Sorry, iphone pic

@M@lphy what sand paper and lacquer would you recommend for the 'Unbranded TLD D3 Carbon!?' job. I have a D3 which needs change and love the raw look.
cheers

^^^ been answered before, click back some pages...

Wetsand grit 300 + elbow grease, work your way back to grit 400 after cutting through to the decals.

As for lacquer a 2 pack clear, there are some good aerosol cans out there with a nice fan cap.

Can any tell me if I could fit size L cheekpads in my size XL Fox V3R? I was under the impression that some helmet sizes share the same shell and EPS, and its the actual padding that fits it to the specific size. If thats the case, my XL fits great, but I would like to see if I could get it a little more "fitted" feel in the cheek area by going to a thicker cheek pad.

#1 at enduro? already? ;)
Yeah dude she killin' it!

Anneke will do a few selected Fourcross races, so hence the #1 and the rainbow colors.
(she earned them so why not flaunt them... innit!?)

One of her two Astar jersey designs will also carry the UCi WorldChamp design. #ruler

Any spy pics of the Spesh Dissident of Brosnun!? #MONSTER
Or will AP Designs spray that one up!? #preferred #painter #clearedoverdecals

Ive been given a D2 that some has sanded the paint off, although they have used some really rough sandpaper. What should I flatten it with? 2000 wet and dry that is wet?
