Iron Man Helmet

Step 7 Spraying and Finishing?

The last step is to spray it up!

For the gold part i used gold enamel spray from halfords and for the red i used Jupiter red car spray paint.

first i sprayed the gold (about 5 layers) about ten mins in between layers once done leave to dry for about an hour or 2.

Mask off the gold area with masking tape and then spray about 5 layers of red, also this takes a little longer between coats about half hour so give yourself a day to do this! then leave for 24 hours.

once the red is lookin good and thick and shiny then remove the masking tape.

then spray coats of laquer all over both colours untill the gold and red are both looking shiny. leave to dry and then its ready to wear.

See my posts above about Papier Mache...they are VERY DURABLE...STRONG. We use it in Taxidermy work for modeling forms, etc...it LASTS.

The only thing I would do differently on my helmet when i build it is the paint. At the local auto part stores they have this "chrome" paint and it comes in red gold silver blue etc, I think that paint would make it look more like metal. I love your helmet dude! I wish I was that talented. I could never make my lines and details that straight on the side of the helmet.
