i found a $5 foam cushion at Academy Sports. it's a squared one inch thick foam pad for bleacher seats. very comfy

Rustoleum Painter's Touch semi gloss white. matches perfectly.

good point

mine wouldn't be for comfort as much for me aesthetically pleasing (clean up all the mess) but mostly because the armor is so light it comes off as cheap. I'll have padding on the parts that will need some cushioning

putting together my Anovos armor, the material feels very light as compared to other armor materials. would it matter to line it with a foam or something to give it more weight/rigidity?

having large legs, I'm having to discard the rear cover strips and fabricate thicker ones. found some no parking signs that are exactly the same thickness as the ANOVOS applied ones. obviously the coloring is off. would it work to paint over these with the ABS paste with a thin coat and sand smooth and polish it out?<br><br> obviously the width will not be accurate, but I want the whites to be uniform. would keep from having to spray paint it with a slightly off color.

I took mine apart and sprayed the halves with 3 coats of Plasti Dip. then I went over it with some leftover hammered paint, and another two coats of Plasti Dip. finish looks amazing

ok good. I use all kinds of Meguiar's polish.

Florida

anyone try anything else that works well and can find local?

already done at the wrist and ankles. just took a bit more outta the top so it'll fit better closer to the elbow

I had thought about that. just gonna need to be creative with the curves on the scraps. maybe a swim in some boiling water to flatten them out should probably do the trick. fingers crossed I'll have enough!

ok good deal. I was hoping an angled cut would be the way to go. thanks guys

looking to make shims for a few parts and also to make extra inner shims for all the pieces. looking to match the coloring of the white. I'm aware of the thickness I'll need. thanks!
