More Plasti-Dip fun
If you recall I showed you how I dipped Burt Reynolds.
Burt has been Smurf’d
For this How To/DIY, I took the left over Plast Dip Blaze that I had from Burt and used it on my helmet.
First thing you need to do is remove the outer shell from the inner foam. Then make sure you clean up the helmet surface with rubbing alcohol. Oh and don’t forget to remove stickers and what not.
With this particular helmet, there were screens on the vents. It prevents debris and bugs from going in. I removed those too and taped up the openings. You’ll notice that I also taped down the straps so they won’t get sprayed.
Now you’re ready for your first coat. You can buy Plasti Dip from your local Home Depot for about $5.98 per can.
This is what the helmet looks like after one coat.
After 4 coats…
From another angle.
Once it all dried up, I reassembled the helmet, I left out the screen because I wanted more air flow. To put it back all together, I just used a hot glue gun and it’s ready to roll.
