Sprayed up with proper primer layers and a beautiful coat of Olive Green, the helmet is looking good. The rough texture and this shade of green give the helmet that old military look I was going for. At first the grey primer underneath slightly showing through looked nice, but after many failed attempts of painting the final designs on the helmet was tougher than I thought it was gonna be so I had to respray the helmet 3 times, thus loosing that effect I had achieved the first spray...
Another failed attempt was spraying a stencil of the famous Tombstone phrase...over spray SUCKS. The stencil didn't lay on the contours of the helmet so I got a nasty outline of the letters...
Fuck that. I got down to what I know best. Used then stencil to draw my guidelines then just straight hand painted with acrylics. The consistency kinda sucks but after a few extra dabs, patience, and a stoned steady hand I got a the technique and phrase down.
While I'm waiting on the paint to dry and everything, I'm getting the final look of the bomber pin-up girl painted in paper so my hand gets used to it.
A lot of trial and error but I'm pretty confident it'll pay off in the end....
...especially since my boy, Xavier, is gonna build me one just like his
