I've recently used this product working on my next armor project. I used to work on aircraft and this kit is used to polish out glazing on aircraft canopy windows. Its not too expensive and works good as a wet sand. Super fine grits and it made my peel from too hot ABS and peel from poor spray jobs come out very smooth.

 

I would recommend higher wet sand grits to get it even, then use the series of micromesh grits to give a smooth texture to repaint over.

Well...here it is...mostly finished except for the interior. I'm waiting on a TCI box and some knee-pads to finish the inside, but it is troopable. I'll give it the "maiden voyage" this weekend.

 

Theres a few cosmetic flaws that shouldn't be too noticiable to the casual viewer, and I'm getting used to them...after all, nothing's perfect.

Wow! I love it! I hope when I do my CE I get the same result! I just knew these helmets had potential and you've gone and proved it! Awesome work!
