I'm now actually thinking about getting some kind of refund or get the helmet replaced, because now I've discovered a few other surface cracks and a big crack on the inside of the visor: http://s1066.photobu...html?sort=3&o=0 http://s1066.photobu...html?sort=3&o=0 http://s1066.photobu...html?sort=3&o=1 And these cracks can't have been caused by me, because I've handled this helmet very carefully What should I do?

Thanks for all the help! I asked Christian about the paint a few days ago and he said he'd used Polyurethane Automotive Paint. He said, "Similar to Oil-based. Is acrylic-based or plastic-based. For work with this paint you must use a acrylic thinner for bi-component paint.". I don't really understand what he means, but does anyone know if I maybe can use a different paint on the helmet if I need to re-paint the whole thing after the repair?

I think it's only the gel coat that has cracked. Because there is no sign of the crack from the inside. Where can I find a gelcoat repair kit/liquid? And how does that work?

Hi again! The bubble wrap marks that I've mentioned, in another thread, shouldn't now be a problem. I'll start working on that ASAP! But I've now come across a new problem... I've recently discovered a very small crack on the surface of my CB helmet. I know it wasn't there when I got it, so it must have appeared today or maybe yesterday. As I said it's only on the surface of the helmet and not all the way through. Is it something not to worry about, or should I try to fix it as soon as possible? What would you guys recommend me to do? How can I get this fixed? http://s1066.photobu...html?sort=3&o=0 I have no experience with repairs like this, so obviously I need some serious guidelines! Thanks for help!

Is it the kind of polishing wax you guys mean?

Ok! So you mean that with the hairdryer I should just carefully heat up the surface a little and the paint will flatten out on its own? I guess I'll try that one first. You also mentioned the 1200-2000 grade wet rub paper, is that an other method of removing these marks? Thanks again for all the great tips!

Thanks for the tip! Does the rubbing/polishing compound affect the paint itself? Does it change the color or the surface/finishing of the helmet? In other words, do I have to do something to the helmet after the rubbing/polishing?

Hi everyone! I just received my CB Helmet and it's amazing! Very happy with it! There is one problem though... After my unboxing of it I discovered that the bubble wrap, that was wrapped around the helmet, had left markings in the helmets paint job. This is something that you almost can't see, but it bothers me a little. And when I eventually want to weather the helmet, with maybe some black paint, then these marks will turn out very obvious. I would really appreciate if someone could give me a tip or two on how to fix this, if it's possible! Thanks // Axel
