unexpected color match!

just as a FYI....

my disclaimer:
i was in a rush and i felt like i did a horrible job. however... its better than what it was.

i will never buy another rubatone helmet again. coating broke down and got sticky. pollen, dirt, cat hair.... anything would stick to it... except pedestrians apparently.

anyway.

i sanded it down to get rid of nearly all of the original finish. Lori and I went into Advance Auto and picked out what we thought was the closest match to her '07 Suzuki... it was a Toyota color... Stellar Blue Pearl (BTY1612). i also clear coated it with Crystal Clear. primed with sandable primer.... kinda the black/grey color. all i can say.. is wow. dispite my sorry work on the finish sanding. :rolleyes: looks good from 10 feet, though.

helmet is a AFX FX90
