how did that landing turn out the one in your avatar

 

Knees on the seat, not quite all the way back down then bounced off , held on to bars feet dragging. fun as hell.

 

There's plenty to look out for. Certain paints contain chemicals that breakdown and weaken the composite shell of a helmet making it dangerous to wear. Sanding also contributes to making the shell weaker if you break through the original paint and sand into the actual material. Different helmets are made of different materials, Some are carbon/kevlar/fiberglass blends, etc. Best to find out exactly what your helmet model is made of and consult the paint manufacturer first or you h=could have a false sense of security wearing a weakend lid. Be careful!

 

corrosive or potent cleaning agents also pose potential problems, are u thinking of painting the lid u normally wear??

 

YEAH, I've heard about weaking the composite shell by sanding......

that's why I asked......


NO T.J......I'm sanding down one of MY SPARE's.....or original helmet's.......

gonna design a cool paint scheme and spray it myself.....

you have an AIRBRUSH you say...????

I have a nice GUN.......


it should look sweet......and give me a BETTER LID to work with......

COOL.......

sounds good........this is my SPARE helmet......it's A NICE one.....but I've had it for a long time now......

so it'll be something to fuggg around with.......


I was thinking METALIC SILVER with HONDA RED FLAMES........

and then maybe later I'll have a PIT BULL similar looking to MONSTER taking a bite outta of a KAWASAKI or SUZUKI painted on the back........

just a project to fuggg around with....


raw dawg

 

Don't sand it....just take a scotch bright and scuff it till the shine is gone...you can paint over it that way....but Sonic Jay is right....can ruin a good lid....

 

Fock all that just buy a new one Dog

 

thought about BUYIN a new lid......

but then I'd have THREE of them just sittin there.....

wanna make my OWN design anyways....


raw dawg
