Mask Painting

[smaile9 0]

Does anyone anything about painting masks, theres not alot on the net about it. Ive spoken to guys who do motorcycle helmets, would this be the same?

I'm good with an air brush and have been doing skate board decks for a few years but I have a goalie helmet shell ready to paint but obviously safety is paramount. Any help would be most appreciated?!

from Createx:

METAL, PLASTICS, OR FIBERGLASS:

1. Prepare surface using fine sandpaper or a Scotch Brite® pad.

2. Spray-mist primer coat of opaque white, allow to dry before applying colors or masking.

3. Apply colors in thin even coats, avoid excessive buildup, blow dry colors between layers.

4. Allow colors to dry before removing any masking or frisket.

5. Apply appropriate finish coat. Water based, clear lacquers, or spray enamels should be tested before using extensively.

Its just like painting a motorcycle helmet you just don't want to sand to much and compromises the integrity of the mask
