Zark_T Posted March 24, 2016 Author Posted March 24, 2016 I will be also helping my girlfriend finish hers. 1
Zark_T Posted March 31, 2016 Author Posted March 31, 2016 Just a set back, my dremel I just bought broke, gotta return it tomorrow. Have to mod the helmet so my head will fit in it. Also looking for a paint stripper for abs. The last person who has this armor used house paint.
ferra Posted March 31, 2016 Posted March 31, 2016 Maibe sand it down? I had to sand my kit down as the first paintjob wasn´t gonna be approved...
Zark_T Posted March 31, 2016 Author Posted March 31, 2016 Dremel exchanged. And a little progress made. http://imgur.com/Z9Ixt4Q Wahoo my head fits now
Grumpy Posted April 3, 2016 Posted April 3, 2016 This wasn't the kit that Forestmoonstudio was selling, was it? If it is...I wanted to get it, just to fix all of the terrible mistakes that it had... 1
Zark_T Posted April 4, 2016 Author Posted April 4, 2016 Yes Grumpy it was. Getting ready to do the sanding/paint stripping Wednesday, I'm am trying to get the kit done and approved before a big con in the area 1
Grumpy Posted April 4, 2016 Posted April 4, 2016 Best of luck to you. That kit looked like it needed a lot of care.
comm tech Posted April 5, 2016 Posted April 5, 2016 Mineral spirits will do a really good job of removing some paints, when I had to redo my paint job, that is what I used and then Washed and did a light (800 grit paper) sanding. Before reapplying the new paint Good luck with that kit.
Zark_T Posted April 5, 2016 Author Posted April 5, 2016 Thanks everyone. I will try mineral spirits to get some of the paint off.
Zark_T Posted April 13, 2016 Author Posted April 13, 2016 Work on this starts next week. See if I can get it done and approved before May 14th
