FroehG Posted March 17, 2021 Share Posted March 17, 2021 So, this being my first post in the forums I'd like to say hello! Now then, I'm having a little problem fixing a certain part in this helmet. ( It's an 850 Armor Works ) There was chipping at the front chin part (Don't know the term for it) that I tried to fix with Bondo before primer. Unfortunately it did not work and now I'm asking for tips or solutions to fix it. Please and thank you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Minimo Posted March 19, 2021 Share Posted March 19, 2021 Hiya and welcome! It’s really hard to tell what’s going on in the picture. I am no expert at fixing but I recently fixed something similar. I added a piece of scrap ABS as backing to the damaged area, then filled the hole with epoxy, sanded it down after it was cured, then smoothed it out with bondo and filler primer.

Michael_Davis26019 Posted March 19, 2021 Share Posted March 19, 2021 I’ve had the same issue with my previous 850 helmet. I would go with what @Minimo said. I used bondo and it just held on by a thread lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KOtrooper Posted March 19, 2021 Share Posted March 19, 2021 You can also fill the hole with milliput (easier to sand) with the backer like @Minimo suggested. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FroehG Posted March 26, 2021 Author Share Posted March 26, 2021 Thank you! I've got time this weekend to try out @Minimo's suggestion. I'll update on the results. Although I've never used milliput before. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FroehG Posted November 2, 2023 Author Share Posted November 2, 2023 Well this is a long time coming. So here is the result of the build. I'm not super happy with a few things done Visor install, paint and weathering) So I think I'm going to shelve this as an example for myself. I'll get another kit, and try again. Maybe Imperial Surplus this time. Side note: The 850 helmet just doesn't fit my head very well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
