Just another tip on the inside of the helmet if anyone looks here. Since you're probably adding adhesive velcro to your armor pieces, put some of the fuzzy side on the inside of helmet, behind the ears. Easy, fast, and black as sin. Skickat från min Nexus 6P via Tapatalk

I have two pieces of velcro on the front of the vest, and two pieces on the back. The bund stays put without any issues. Skickat från min Nexus 6P via Tapatalk

I make snap plates, i.e a small plate with a snap mounted in it (hammered together), then the plate is glued to the plastic. Skickat från min LG-D802 via Tapatalk

I use fuzzy black velcro. No reflections or anything. Just blacknuzz.. Skickat från min LG-D802 via Tapatalk

Hm. Maybe I'll start with that. Thanks! Plus, perixode wasn't easy to find here. Apparently I'm quite dangerous since I make drugs with my slush acetone and bombs with the peroxide. Lol!

Oops, did a better search on the forum and see that there are two options. Strokers fix with toothpaste and peroxide, or retrobright. Anyone that can recommend either way? And one more way from http://forum.bikerscout.net/index.php?showtopic=13231&st=0, 12% peroxide cream. (although this requires sun. Well, Sweden doesn't do "sun"...)

Greetings fellow dodgers! After 3 years and close to 50 troops my armor is now turning a bit yellow. It's unpainted ABS from MC, and I'm starting to look like a custard pie next to newer troopers so I need to fix it before I'm sent to the back of the parades. Has anyone tried the Retrobright formula that's available on the internet? Does it give a good result? Or option 2, has anyone painted their armor and gotten a good result? I'm thinking that a load of white spray cans and even more varnish might be the way to go. The unsure part is how well it will hold up so I don't end up with a bunch of cracks in the paint. Or will a simple rub down with Novus fix this?

If you use pins, be very careful when trying it on. I missed one and it got me in the "manly" parts... Skickat från min LG-D802 via Tapatalk

As Jim says, for the holster to the boot, rivets and washers, for securing the blaster itself, it's just the normal answer; check what Panda did http://forum.bikerscout.net/index.php?showtopic=9781

Hands down the worst moment of my life... And I've even painted two of them! But great job! Skickat från min LG-D802 via Tapatalk

On a side note, seems like snowies are shipping now at least. I have two garrison mates who got theirs this week. Skickat från min LG-D802 via Tapatalk

And my two cents on joining the helmet is to use ABS sludge (if it's ABS) as much as possible. I used only filler first on my Lonewolf and it cracked pretty fast. Especially in the neck area. If needed you can cut a groove in the join and fill there. It will make it a bit more flexible. Skickat från min LG-D802 via Tapatalk
