Nice! Anything JPS gets my attention. Here is my helmet, I let the CF show through in a couple of areas. Anyone recognize the modified design?

   You added the red trim?  The carbon fifer looks good also.

The whole helmet was painted except the CF that shows through. Designed to replicate a famous Lotus F1 drivers helmet used in one race.

I would never have guessed that! Of course the other clue is that I had to ask!

Pretty helmet! Nicely done

Notice that I changed the Q (for “Quick Nick”) to a G (for Glen)

  After a day at the shooting range, ..This made my day.  :trophy:

  My son in law , Chris, and I went down to a local flight school that’s painting there entire fleet. They had some questions about the paint, mixing and techniques . I could have stayed all day and talked.
I all most wanted to paint for free.  :FUNNY:

D'man, I'm not sure they would have wanted a plane shaped black mirror! It might have some weird interaction with radar... hmmm, is that what you're after - a stealth Europa?!  :FUNNY:

You should have negotiated paint time for some seat time in the planes, that would have been a wicked trade!

  Started a simple paint job on my daily driver, since it gets the best gas mileage. some bad rust around rear window and under spoiler caused some delay's. A quick fix on a pulled out door handle anchor and was reinstalled . Welding uprear deck spoiler holes tomorrow and should put in primer by Saturday.
   Its great to be back in my garage even though the temps are in the high 90's F
