Snoopy Posted May 31, 2008 Author Share Posted May 31, 2008 This is the M-42, after about five hours of paint stripping. Not a speck of yellow left. Except for some spots of rust, all of the original paint is intact. This helmet have never had a decal. I am really pleased with the result. I hope you like it.

censlenov Posted June 3, 2008 Share Posted June 3, 2008 out of curiousity what kind of stripper did you use on the helmet. Seems to have done an excellent job.CheersChris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leigh kitchen Posted June 3, 2008 Share Posted June 3, 2008 I wonder why anybody went to the trouble of painting the inside yellow as well, rather than just the outside? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
