Re: Should I paint my mask?

If that's a dip, where do you get it??

To respond to the Deacon...

I used Krylon Fusion to paint a JT Flex 7 (seriously) and have played hard in it over the past couple of months. I realize this is not the norm due to how flexible this mask is, but the paint has not, every chipped or cracked. Personally I like the ghost look where the pattern over my body is similar and without a lot of lines.

(I've obviously left out how I did it).

Basically you want to wash the mask in hot water for several minutes with dish soap, dry and clean with acceton (wipe it down). Use gloves during the entire process and let whatever you do, dry for 7 days.

Duracoat may be a good option.

It's a high end mask so it's up to you.

Check out this thread for an accurate how to: Finally! A "How-To" on Painting MultiCam & OmniPat - Special Ops Forum

If you're nervous or just need a refresher, just paint some cardboard to start with in order to get an idea of how the paint will lay down.

...and for god sakes, use a flat finish.
