Dynamic1[501st] Posted May 9, 2016 Author Report Share Posted May 9, 2016 (edited) Looks good to me! Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G928A using Tapatalk Thanks buddy...we'll see. I'm really trying to get the paint down...honestly I don't really want to HAVE to have an autobody guy paint this but will if I absolutely have to I will. That being said, if I can get the color close to the anovos lid, achieve the gloss I like, and it maintains an abundance of flexibility I may call it a day ; )....lots of feedback from you guys will help!

Dynamic1[501st] Posted May 9, 2016 Author Report Share Posted May 9, 2016 Here's the image of the test piece and helmet cropped in sunlight. The test piece is on your left, and the anovos helmet on the right. Keep in mind there are shadows casted and differing hues....pretty close IMO...thoughts? The most important part is that this piece has been folded in half with absolutely 0 cracking.....will test again tomorrow...

Dynamic1[501st] Posted May 10, 2016 Author Report Share Posted May 10, 2016 Ok here's a quick update. Was able to do another test piece today(belt piece) as I wanted to get this paint on a rigid piece. Granted it's not gloss coated however, I Was not happy with the level of shine. For flexibility I am willing to give up a tiny bit of gloss but not this much. That being said, my auto paint guy is going to match the white and go through his process on the belt piece as well as one of the knees. Keep you posted Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dynamic1[501st] Posted May 11, 2016 Author Report Share Posted May 11, 2016 All finished guys....look ok!? ....although not my build, felt my delivery today was warranted ; )...if you haven't picked up the SS Jakku exclusive I highly recommend it...great piece and will undoubtedly look great next to his buddy in my detolf.....more updates soon.

Dynamic1[501st] Posted May 11, 2016 Author Report Share Posted May 11, 2016 (edited) In the meantime, here is where I'm at. After a lunch discussion with a good buddy of mine (501st member fettseven) I've handed a few pieces over to an autobody paint professional (both knees and the one belt piece). He is going to work on a color match and add a pretty hefty flex agent which he seems pretty confident about. I'll try and get the applied formula for those who are thinking about going this route...bc he's through a friend he's offered me a pretty great deal.....keep everyone posted on this.
