Now I wish I could make a quality C3PO helmet in under 5 min.. Great video showing off the techniques you used for the finishing. Great work and keep'em coming..

Surprisingly it didn't but a few days even waiting on paint to dry. The sanding had to be perfect and that's what obviously took the longest.

Love your work man!

[@coz3d]

Thank you! Any suggestions on what you'd like to see built next?

I actually liked the flat back for some reason

[@coz3d]

I might have to make a flat black one to display. I really liked it too!

Any tips on maintaining that glossy shine on metallic paint post-clear coat?

[@coz3d]

UNTESTED: but the best advice I can give right now is either keep a micro fiber cloth close at all times or apply an automotive clear coat which I'm about to try and I will report my findings!

What is the mixture you use at the beginning?

[@coz3d]

Bondo glazing and spot putty with a little acetone added to thin it enough to paint it on. Like 5 parts bobdo to 1 part acetone.
