Thank you! This is my first really successful attempt with sand texture. I had done it once before on my MP helmet but I could have done a lot better.

@@SimonOfFortune For texturing I find that sand is harder to work with than cork as the sand is much finer. To scatter the sand evenly I used a narrow mesh kitchen sieve.

The first time I did sand I used actual sand and the grains were too big, the second time on my MP helmet I used the blasting media as seen in the video but the grain was inconsistent. I sifted some through a sieve to get an even size. Sprinkling it on by hand from high up gives me pretty consistent coverage since it has time to spread out
Cerakote?😳 Brassin?🤔 Jman
Technically others wet their helmet covers put them on the helmet and let dry so it can form fit as the cover dries.
