Alright, just got in my MTK helmet and about to begin but had some questions. After extensive reading in here regarding the painting of the inside, I have decided I want to go with the rubber spray inside. However, is it best to do this prior to making the cuts? I would think the rubber coat would affect the cutting out if the teeth and eyes as well as affect the rivets. Also, if I do it prior to placing in the lens, will it affect the placement of the lens? My goal is to not only look good but add just a touch of weight and stability to the bucket. Going from a full Godzilla tusken kit to this abs makes me feel like I'm going to break the dang thing at any point!
