So I made a scootallo helment the other day http://mlpforums.com/topic/113038-made-a-real-scootaloo-helmet/ and it came out really cool looking so I started to think, what would a rainbow dash helmet made with metallic paint look like? they just happen to make (and only make) all the rainbow colors. So I ordered all the colors (like $80 worth of paint, but I will have lots left over) and got a new helmet today. this is going to be a long job because I am going to have to let the paint dry for a day for each color before I do the next one. I came up with the layout today. it was hard to do because the show is in 2d and I had to come up with a 3d layout. also there are no ears on the helmet to work around. anyway, what do you all think so far?

been working all day on it. I have go wait 10 minutes in between cotes and 1 hour in between each color. so with about 4 to 5 cotes per color and 6 colors, that is 10 hours just for the 6 colors! that is just drying time thought. there is about 20 mimutes of masking per color. It is coming out really cool so far and I can't wait to see how it look with all the mask off.


here is a layer by layer look at the red so you can see the the change in color in layer.


all done for the night, tomorrow I will add the blue pin stripe and paint the rest (what is sliver now) blue.

Up to the clear cote! also I did the blue pin strip this morning. wow this takes a long time. it only take me about a minute to do each cote but then I have to wait 10 minutes for the next one. it is not really enough time to do something else so I have just been sitting around for 2 days waiting for stuff to dry for 10 minutes.
