Also going another route on the visor. Bought a faceshield replacement and will use window tint to darken it.

broke out the heat gun last night and started forming the armor and then took advantage of the little guy being sick (daddy stayed home with him) to get some painting started.

so yesterday was enough to piss me off. taped up the armor with the design I wanted and proceeded to spray it with the white and orange paints.

got a lot done this evening. After repainting the armor, I wiped the "vaseline areas" off on the armor and put the velcro on the backs of it to get it ready to attach to the shirt and pants.

This is totally awesome -- you have some skills and your son is very lucky!

That'll happen if it's too cold where you paint.
Usually the can says what the limits are, but I think the low end is 50*.
It does suck. Very hard.

that's what i was thinking, but I got the different metallic paint and sprayed it on in temperatures lower than those shots and it worked fine.

The more and more I talk to people, the more I see people having problems with the hammered metallic paint. almost like it wasn't meant to over sprayed

Re: My son's halloween costume
 
as my wife put it. the costumes were a hit. she came around the corner, saw the crowd and thought someone was giving out full sized candy bars. NOPE, it was a photo op with me. lol

me and the little guy last night for halloween.

Very, very cool. It may be a coincidence but my son is named Luke, my name is Rob, he dressed as a clone yesterday, complete with realistic blaster. I went as Darth Vader, the very realistic Vader helmet allowed me to check out the sexy witches without being noticed. Great project for you and Luke!
