Playing around

My plan was to reclear my helmet to fix a few imperfections that were drving me crazy. I had originally clear coated and when the clear was dry, i had to cut around the air vent to remove masking. I did not find this made a clean finish. After a bit of research, the consensus was to remove the tape while the clear was still wet, allowing for the clear to seep in around the vent giving it a better finish. Although touchy I decided to try this with my helmet. Its better to screw up mine rather than a clients helmet. Unfortunately when  I wet sanded the first layer of clear to add another coat, I sanded through the paint on two of the rivets so I had to fix them.

With the helmet touched up, I still had some black left over in my airbrush, so I thought I would paint it out instead of dumping it. I didn't spend a lot of time on it but my airbrush was working well. I had done a thorough cleaning earlier this week. The autoair restorer is a amazing product and managed to clean areas I though would never come off.
