It was absolutely awesome watching how you did that and seeing the end product! WOW! Fantastic work of art!

So you don't have to watch the whole video 1st primer coat Sit for 5-7 min (he waited 2 hours and sealed off imperfections) 2nd primer coat, 10-15 min (he waited 2 hours and sealed off imperfections) (he had a 3rd coat of primer since he did imperfections) 1st paint coat paint 5-7 minutes 2nd paint coat nice wet 5-7 minutes 3rd paint coat nice wet/mist. 15 minutes 1st clear coat light/mist 5 minutes 2nd clear coat heavier/mist 5-7 minutes 3rd clear coat what you see is what you get. Has to cure for 48 hours before you work with it. For second paint after you mask it off you do one coat and take off the masking tape.

Thanks. I bought one of these helmets from you about a year ago and it's been sitting on my desk because I've been struggling with the paint job. This really helps a lot.

The tack cloth tip between coats (for particles that dry in the air as sprayed) is amazing. Never even considered that before. Legend!

Thanks man , I learned more about painting in this video than the previous three ai had watched from of channels .

About to start painting mine! I've done all the other steps. Can't wait. Thanks for the beautiful helmet!

Dude that is absolutely incredible...that looks movie quality. Nice job man

Perfection! Absolutely amazing job man! This will for sure come in handy when I order mine! Thank you!

You are a Great Master Technician Costumer! And with your Seamstress Mom, you two are a Dynamic Duo! Thanks for this splendid Paint Technique Upload. I'm sure others here may have reminded you to wear a respirator every once in a while, but I confess I rarely think to put one on myself. Thanks to you, I may just resume repairing & repainting my ANH Vader Helmet. It won't be as shiny as your Magneto Helmet, but you've totally schooled me on the sanding and primer process.

fantastic video. very well made and descriptions spot on. wish all how to videos were this good. thank you

Amazing work dude.

One word.....awesome! Great job man

amazing work man thanks so much for this video! Can't wait for the DOFP helmet!

Dude I need one of those helmets . Dude that's too cool for words

Awesome tutorial. Very helpful

Amazing job! Congratulations! :D

Thank you, awesome overview

Great work ! I've learned so muc h thanks to you !

Thanks for sharing this video, it is very helpful. I bought a finished helmet from you quite some time ago and it was about time for a repaint so I gave it a go. I had an issue with the tack cloth shedding onto the helmet. I tried 3 different tack cloths, all brand new (though they had been stored for a while), but it was shedding on the helmet, no matter how lightly I ran it across. I ended up using a lint roller to help remove the fibers of the cloth, but I fear that might have roughed up the paint more than I'd like. I think I went too light on the clear coat as well, but with the issues on the tack cloth, I'm not sure if that's to blame. After a day, I didn't think it looked good at all, but after another day the clear coat seems to have cured more and the helmet overall looks pretty good. I think I might try to apply another clear coat to it and see if that does the trick. The instructions on the Clear coat say it's ok to reapply coats at anytime so I figured I'd give it a go. Anyway, I was wondering if you noticed fibers coming off the tack cloth as well and if so, how to best handle those. I.e. ignore them, pick them off with tweezers, lint roll, etc.

Nice job. 👍👍

good tut man thank you for posting this.

EXCELLENT WORK! EXCELLENT TUTORIAL! THANK YOUUUU!!! I am very impressed and this information will be Most useful. cheers!

that helmet looks very good

I ordered a ant man mold and i was wondering after spray paint everything silver and wait 2 days for the paint to dry can i just paint over the silver example *red* for the side of the helmet like how u painted over the dark metallic color with silver on the trimps?

Beautiful

Phenomenal!!!

Question, when you paint your helmets. Where do you keep them while letting the paint cure or set, especially for the clear coat during its 48 hour wait? Surely you want to try and avoid dust and debris that might find its way onto the helmet? Do you just leave it in the garage or move it into your home or keep it on the back porch? That bit of info would help a noob like me. 30:07

Will you be doing a video tutorial for how to paint the Days of Future Past Helmet?

Love it great video

I like this helmet slot you did great I've like to make one 😊

This is awesome! I have the more rugged one MF wore and I don’t want to make it shiny. It also has a very weathered look with grooves and cracks. I’d appreciate any tips for those steps cuz this video helped me out A LOT with everything else!!

What did you use to cast the helmet? What's the urethane product called? I've only use urethane that has a rubber finish.

Here was my concern about the helmet being painted in chrome. I tried using it and it only came out looking. Of course, to my part, it was on a 3d printed test piece and it wasn't prepped. Anyway after you sprayed the chrome, you just left it alone? No other protection?

Hey just wondering hows the days of future past cape going? Looking forward to see it any updates?

Any special instructions for the wet sanding?

do they have primer and clear coat all in one sprays?

awesome :)

Hi, can do also do the tutorial for days of future past helmet too? Thnks

Dude, you look like you could be Garret Dillahunt's younger brother.

At the end, you don't spray the Crystal Clear Enamel over the trim to make that extra glossy?

@MakeItMike

No you dont clear coat that silver kind or it makes it look like crap. It even says on the can not to clear coat over it.

does that work on Plastic also ? like 3D painted..

What color purple should we use for the trim if we are going classic colors?

Purple-licious Testors paint

make sure when you do this your garage door is closed so that wind doesn't pick up and paint your cars as well lol

How did you make it

2 questions: 1. What color purple should we use for the classic trim? A metallic one? 2. Do we or don't we clear coat the trim? I would think that we should but you did not? Why and why not?

@MakeItMike

The purple is called "Testors purpl-icious" I got from Hobby lobby. The purple is a one stage paint meaning it has clear coat mixed in already so it goes on plenty glossy. The silver can says not to clear coat it. I tried it before and it makes it look like crap.

burn, recasters, burn! :( great video and technique!

Great video! Thank you for making this. Where did you get the primer sealer? I'm having a hard time finding in stores. Online would be my last choice.

Oh, my god i want the helmet

can you make marvel now helmet please

Can we buy this

It can also be red

Emailed you about availability 👍🏼 Craig

Couple of quick questions: 1) When painting the classic with the Dupli-color red, do you also use the Dupli-color clear coat or do you use the Rustoleum clear coat? 2) With the Testors Purplicious do you still just use 1 coat and/or do you clear coat the purple? Thanks! Love your work.

Guy Baker 1) I use the rustoleum clear over the duplicolor red. 2) I do not clear coat the purple. It is a one stage paint meaning it has clear coat in it. I just do one wet coat and BAM its done.

So I finished the clear coat a few hours ago. As it's drying, it's not quite as shiny as I'd like. Can I add another coat of clear coat now or would that mess it up?

@MakeItMike

Guy Baker Read the label to make sure it says, "recoat anytime." If it does then you are ok but I would start off with a few light mist coats a few minutes apart then go with the gloss coat
