Bonded to padding with Locktite vinyl glue. Screwed to helmet at sides and back. Filler sanded smooth and testing final fit. The helmet worn by Jeff Bridges had all vent holes filled and blackened.

Note screw heads filled with plastic filler where neck extension joins helmet. Primed and sanded with 400-grit. Painted with gloss white enamel. Using tape to mask off line art. This was painful and tedious work. I thought I would do the whole helmet this way and spray it black but I ran out of time. I used a black paint pen to color the taped-off lines. The rest I did pretty much free-hand. I used a razor blade to clean up areas where paint bled under the tape. My Tron (1982) Kevin Flynn helmet! My Tron (1982) Kevin Flynn helmet!
