Waiting on parts …. so painted my helmet.
« on: May 22, 2022, 05:19:20 PM »
I have never done much of this type of paint this is my 5th little project.
Took a while. I’m still learning as I go and I’m definitely not a great pinstriper.
But check it out, lemme know what ya think.

Also, I know it’s technically not a FED but I wear this helmet when I drive my FED.

I’m game, send me a helmet and I’ll do it no charge other than maybe buy some candy concentrate.
