OnkelPaschulke Posted August 17, 2022 Share Posted August 17, 2022 Dude, you are a real accuratzi (as some folks within the German garrison call themselves, because they go all in for accuracy). Just awesome! Gesendet von iPhone mit Tapatalk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just don’t recall what it was. Whatever rationale, seems they changed it. Check out this recruits RS commission they just received, looks like gloss to me: http://forum.501stpathfinders.com/index.php?/topic/23372-gunrunners-wip-build/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It looks a lot better! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harbinger Posted August 23, 2022 Author Share Posted August 23, 2022 Oh, absolutely. I’m going to do a spot test of some gloss clear-coat (brand TBD) to see if I spot any cracks over the next couple months. If not I’m going to move forward with spraying the whole helmet, if not I may just break down and repaint the whole thing. Weathering my armor hangs on it, so I’d like to figure it out sooner than later, as you would imagine I do not want to have to repaint the helmet twice. 😅 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harbinger Posted September 8, 2022 Author Share Posted September 8, 2022 Velcro added to vest/chest armor, we will see if it helps with the tank pull I have been experiencing. Mandarin collar to open collar conversion complete: I did a test spray of Rustoleum 2X Clear Gloss on my helmet (under the visor where it’d go unnoticed) and so far, no cracks etc. It has been over 100°F for the last several weeks*, so if I do not see any paint issues appear in the next week or two, I will proceed with clear-coating. * Pro tip: don’t leave your helmet in the garage when it gets this hot, or your visor lens may fall out when you try to put it on! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
