Supporters Lozart Posted September 26, 2013 Supporters Share Posted September 26, 2013 oooo how about painting the mask matt black and then putting a gloss black skull on it? Or maybe doing some kind of ghosted outline in very dark grey or a pale silvery kind of colour? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Supporters jcheeseright Posted September 27, 2013 Supporters Share Posted September 27, 2013 if you're painting onto a hard plastic you'll need a primer. It's not there to give you a base colour, it's there for the paint to stick to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supporters MrCheesman94 Posted September 27, 2013 Author Supporters Share Posted September 27, 2013 it's firbe glass and i have roughed it up so the paint will stick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supporters Lozart Posted September 27, 2013 Supporters Share Posted September 27, 2013 it's firbe glass and i have roughed it up so the paint will stick If you're using automotive paint, you'll still need a primer. It will stick without it but it won't last as long before it chips off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supporters Lozart Posted September 27, 2013 Supporters Share Posted September 27, 2013 Actually....if you've scuffed up the gel coat it will probably be ok. Personally I'd still primer it though. What colour will the design be? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supporters MrCheesman94 Posted September 27, 2013 Author Supporters Share Posted September 27, 2013 well one's going to be half orange and half black. I'm going to try and do that grendel design Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supporters Lozart Posted September 27, 2013 Supporters Share Posted September 27, 2013 OK, if the masks are black to start with then the Grendel one would only need white primer in the same areas you'll be painting (the eyes) the Deathstroke one is probably going to need a grey primer. Will you be clearcoating it afterwards? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Supporters Ian_Gere Posted September 27, 2013 Supporters Share Posted September 27, 2013 My Killer Mask has mesh eyes but it still gets wet inside. More from breath than sweat, so TBF what I really mean is it gets coated with spittle inside whenever I breath heavily. Laaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaarvly!

Supporters MrCheesman94 Posted September 29, 2013 Author Supporters Share Posted September 29, 2013 if im honest there cool looking and it you have the time you can make them your own like i'm gonna have a one of a kind mask but most people will just have a normal mask Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supporters jcheeseright Posted September 29, 2013 Supporters Share Posted September 29, 2013 I'm not sure I have the skills to make a devtac mask, he spent months developing the fan system to keep the lenses fog free, but I see your point. If you can do something like that for yourself, you absolutely should since it'll exactly meet your specifications and not someone else's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
