soft goods came in today from KriptonTop fits like a glove going to need some rework tho the velcro for the pouches are sewn on the bottom not sure if its suppose to be that way not that familiar with the soft goods on a TB here it is with the chest armor on still need to work on the rest of it -

been getting this issue on this side of the helmet only ived tried sanding and painting several times with the same result i decided to sand off all the paint and restart i noticed a hole on the side getting bigger as i sanded i used abs cement and i guess it doesn take well to heat since it came off so i decided to cut it all out and refill with abs paste going to let it sit for a few days so it cures properly -

I’m thinking it was the clear coat it had before diff brand primer and paint were the same brand -

covered the nasty hole with JB weld but had to use 60 grit to sand it down creating some scratches so i had to fill it with bondo putty hopefully this is the last time -

Thank you. i cut the ears and painted the inside black used and exacto knife painted the bucket white used Rust-Oleum high gloss white was happy how it turn out until i saw i had a crack that caved in on the side will have to refill and sand also noticed some parts of the helmet the paint was very smooth and on other parts you can see and feel the paint (prob the old almost empty can of paint i had) how can i avoid this so it all comes out nice and smooth maybe a bit of over spray caused it ? wondering if its still ok like that paint seems to match the ABS plastic from the face pretty good should the face be painted as well? -
