Where can i get some? thanks!

aww man, i'm so sorry for your loss!!!!! i would never want to imagine this my friend!!!! you're in our thoughts!!!!! i'm sorry and i wish you and her family the best.

thanks, i'll try to sand it a lot...lol!!!!!

ok well, first couple coats are drying, but the it came out grainy, it might sound like a total airhead, but i know if i use gloss paint it will not come out smoothly, how do i get rid of this effect? will i have to smooth (sand) the primer all the way out???? thanks, i have no idea what to do!!!

i just started priming, i used Rustoleum professional! i hope it doesn't turn out grainy!!!!!

Hi, well i was wondering, if i'm going to be repainting the entire helmet, does it all need to be sanded????? thanks?????

thanks will do!!!! Also, when you paint the helmet, do you have to sand it all, everything, before priming, or just the decals and vocoder???? thanks!!!!

i've been using bondo so far! first mod too! good luck man!

lol, well i ruined my aerators trying to take them off, so does anyone know any good inexpensive aerators???? thanks!!!!!

thanks for all the info man, well, i'm trying to find some good threads on how to remove the aerators without damaging them!!!!

well, i'm gonna start painting my helmet soon, and i was wondering where do i start? what is wet sanding??? what primer brand should i buy/color? i tried a cheap primer and made things kinda grainy for my blaster, not glossy, i want a primer that will be leave a glossy finish, do i even have to primer? what bondo, should i use? will the paint dry in a week if i use rustoleum hi performance professional enamel gloss? thanks everyone, i'm still a newb at these things!

i would love if anyone can do mirrored shadow lenses bubble or stunt!!!!!! preferably bubbled, but any will do!!!!!

same here, it looks like i'm wearing shorts or something...lol!!!!!

lol, thanks everyone, as always this forum helps me out when i have questions about armor etc.!!!! well, i'll keep everyone updated when i actually have money in hand to buy a new helmet!!!!! dang Paypal!!!!

thanks nate, i appreciate your opinion, well i haven't pulled the trigger on anything yet, so will see...i really don't support recasting either, and i know even considering this is going against my beliefs, but like you said, money is tight for me right now, so we will see what happens! I actually already have an MRCE so i know the quality of it, so i'll keep everyone updated! money is tight because of economics, and i'm an avid collector!!!!!!! between collecting and this hobby, i'm out a lot of cash!

i have those same exact ones!!!!!

thanks everyone for your opinions....

ahhh...lol...ok, well how can i contact him???

good point man, well yeah, i would just take the brow off then repaint it all black! good idea! and whereabouts on where i could get a replacement brow like the one pictured? not like the MRCE brow?

sorry what's a blem, lol, i'm still kinda new here?

lol...i thought so too...any other opinions, just wanted some other opinions before i pull the trigger on either!!!!

well here are the pictures...looks good as i know it should because it's been recasted off the TE, so it better look good!!!!! Any thoughts, keep in mind that i want to pretty much take it apart, start from scratch and paint in gloss black for my shadow kit!!!!! any other opinions????

everyone i'm not trying to cause uproar, i'm not trying to give credit towards recasters or anything because i know it's not good for this hobby and it's looked down upon, i just don't think it's smart to pay however much a TE2 or AP helmet costs, paint it black, then buy another one, when i get my white armor...i don't have that much money. i know some people do, and money is not an option but for me, it is! I'm not trying to bash anyone or trying to stick up for recasters because that is not the case, in fact recasting wasn't mentioned in my original post, i just wanted the experts' advice on what a meatstock helmet even was, and if $80 shipped is a good deal. I guess if it's not because it's causing this much trouble i'll just stick to getting an MRCE. so please don't mix up my words and think i'm totally supportive of getting a recasted helmet, i know the original makers of helmets are much better (AP, TM, TE/TE2, etc.) but i just wanted a cheap and better looking replacement for my FX helmet. That's all! i apologize if i sounded rude so, as this was not intentional, but once again i just wanted to know the history and background of the Meatstock, so let me rephrase my question: If you only had $100 and you could only choose between the TWO, what would it be, a MEATSTOCK RECASTED helmet, or an MR CE helmet???? thanks!!!!

wow, i just want a decent looking helmet to paint to replace my FX helmet, why am i going to spend over $200 on a nice helmet just to paint it all black? this is for my black kit, when i upgrade to white armor, i'm going to want to get a great kit/great helmet, so i don't see what the problem is if i get a meatstock helmet from a guy who is selling one? i didn't know this would spark conflict or whatever, but i just wanted to see if this was a good deal/good helmet! And i didn't know this was English grammar class, at least i'm not using CAPS to shout right? So, like i said, is this a good deal? Obviously the helmet must not be that good for the low price! Anyone? I'm not trying to sound rude or harsh, i just wanted some detail on this helmet for the price.

well to be honest, i'd be getting the helmet for around $80 shipped, and on top of that, i want to paint for my shadow kit TX!!!!! When i upgrade to white armor, i will def. get the better kits like AP or TE2!!!!! So is it still a good deal, or should i just go MR CE??? i'm not liking the FX shadow helmet or just plain FX helmet period!!!!!
