A Custom Hard Hat

Here is a Custom Hard Hat I was commissioned to do.  It came to me as a regular white hard hat.  The customer explained  exactly what she wanted and the colors.  She had requested a car color metalflake silver for the top, so I had a friend that runs an auto paint store (Doyle Yeager at Parts & Paint in Barbourville, KY) to mix the color in an aerosol spray.  I then scuffed away the gloss with a ScotchBrite pad, cleaned it, then sprayed the helmet.  At that point I hand painted all the coal along the bottom and added the vinyl graphics for the lettering and logos.  I then sprayed a couple coats of automotive clear, also in an aerosol spray and the project was done.  The customer LOVED it!!!
