henselmonster Posted February 17, 2016 Report Posted February 17, 2016 Got my Anovos armor in and immediately wanted to fix up the inside with Plastidip and new padding. Started by removing the lenses and mesh inside and taping the velcro which holds up the lenses (which I might remove later for a better lens mount). Got some overspray around the bottom but it comes off once it dries super easy by just wiping it off with my thumb. I did about 4 or 5 coats, and then let it dry for a few days while i waited for my padding to arrive. I ordered ACH from amazon (http://www.amazon.com/NEW-ORIGINAL-US-ARMY-ISSUE/dp/B004RCLM8Q). Got everything installed and its looking pretty nice, and its super comfy. Now all i have to do is order the Echo fan kit and maybe set up mic and hearing assist system and it will be good to go! 7 Quote

I need some help with the thighs and shins, unfortunately I have to be somewhere else most of the day, hopefully I can swing by later! Thanks for the invite, I live right by Clermont. Quote
=Sv3=[TK] Posted February 17, 2016 Report Posted February 17, 2016 Does Plastidip by itself gives the helmet more rigidity? Some people recommend adding cheese cloth with the first coat but the finish looks rough even after a few coats... Quote

I would imagine the cheesecloth would help with that. I don't mind its being flexible. The nice this about the plastidip was is sealing seams inside reducing any creaking noises of the helmet 1 Quote

Anzo[TK] Posted February 26, 2016 Report Posted February 26, 2016 Looks awesome! A few questions...how does the helmet fit with the padding? What type of plastidip did you use? Just the aerosol kind? I'd like to do both of these mods to my bucket. Quote
TK-66929[TK] Posted February 28, 2016 Report Posted February 28, 2016 The aerosol can gives a REALLY FINE mist of plasti dip. It takes a few applications to get it all "covered".
