SHOW OFF YOUR RESTORED HELMETS!

Hello FSBE,

I used some Goof Off on the gold paint.

I put it on a rag and rubbed the paint off.

Then I dipped the rag in Goof Off and went over it again to get any residue.

It took a while but it seemed to have worked well.

In the end I gently washed the whole helmet with a dab of Ivory soap and water to get off any remaining chemicals.

here's a salty fixed bail with liner, a recent flea market find for $8 , it had some paint spots on it about the the size of two quarters or about 2' inches that I removed with a little paint stripper on a rag, I let a small area soak for about ten seconds then quickly wiped off the marks, thats all the restoration I plan to do

Do you guys think there could potentially be anything under the repaint on this liner. It appear to have been repainted maybe twice. I cant tell if there might be anything under the top Layer because it is really thick. But I am pretty sure this helmet was used right up until the 80s.
