@@guido69x LOL, So you decided to come on here and tell us how you KNOW better but not how to DO it better? (Deep down you know that that's kind of a "d!ck move" right?) You could have saved us all having to witness your self-aggrandizing posturing and just watched the video and kept you comments to yourself.

Look around son (or daughter, women can be d!ck$ too) your on RUclips this platforms raison d'etre is SHARING. Heck! you probably came on here hoping to benefit from that very ethic. So to then turn around and point out perceived deficiencies without offering possible solutions or even the hint of a suggestion for remedy seems a little puerile, what seems particularly perverse is to then claim that you have a solution But that it's somehow "your little secret". Oh Vanity thy name is DrunkFunk. Any one over 20 knows that there is really no genuinely new Idea under the sun we are all standing on the shoulders of those that came before, not to mention that these days with Google I could probably find out how to do what you do in you Profession in less than an hour, if I really needed to. So in summary, next time follow you grandma's advice.
Good, clean work. One thing I've come across when clearcoating my finished work on a lid or whatever, is that I find I have to kind of "sneak up" on the surface with the clearcoat, especially when covering Sharpie art and the like. Regardless of the quality of the clearcoat product, I've found that it will make the pigment I'm coating run if I don't start by spraying the barest mist on it initially and letting it dry more than just flash off before proceeding with more substantial coats. I've ruined a lot of painstakingly- applied art on surfaces by just bombing the finished art with clearcoat without showing some patience in the beginning of the clearcoating process.
14:20 talks over a minute about the right clear coat, but in the end he shows what to do. To keep it flat and simple, just grab a can... brilliant, uh I mean glossy ;D - great video Martin !!
So cool that you don't mind sharing and actually encourage people to make art. I've always been interested in painting lids, so thanks for the inspiration my man.. Keep it up..
Hey ETOE I’ve been designing and drawing since the beginning of the that hobby I wanted to do and know you gave me a more depth of possibilities I want to pursue thank you
That's really creative and confidence building even for a beginner make changes or spruce up even the smallest of professionalism... Your like the Bob Ross of creativeness... hello trees
I know everyone goes on about your skills and artwork (which are exceptional), but I come here for your personality. I think you’re hilarious and highly entertaining. Great stuff!
Nice Talent...☝️ each time i watch your video sir..I cannot stop 🤟...very detailed and lot of ideas are shared ❤, thank you for being generous for sharing your technics...more power to you sir
Awesome video I'm an airbrush guy but must have a go with the watercolour pencils ..thanks for the inspiration subbed and liked....your helmet turned out fabulous.
@@ETOE my bro, u draw with watercolor pencil which means it is water-based. Is it okay to spray a clear coat directly or you need to dry the drawing first?
I really love this. Could i possibly get the same effect if i just use regular water colour paint? Or would this work best if I did this in water colour pencil for detailing?
I really enjoy your tutotials. I painted my second helmet using your tips. Do you know how to create a patina paint on an helmet ? I have an old Cromwell helmet, and I'd like to repaint it with the same aspect as it orignally was. By that, I mean a mate effect. But I don't know how to recreate THIS kind of mate black you can find on vintage motorcycle tanks or frames. I tried an old tip of rubbing the paint with oily gloves while it dries but I'm not that convinced...
"If you ask i will do it" ... Ok let me send you my cheap road bike for an awsome paintjob, haha. Once again outstanding work, I finished painting my helmet today, looks great and only took 500miles of masking tape!!!
You sir are a very funny and generous man, Thank you for your videos. Keep doing what you do, and never skimp on the details, that's what most of us are here for. SKoL
Amazing! I guess there is no way to de-grease or clean the helmet before clear coat? Also, normally you do a lot of sanding and prep before paint, but not necessary here with water color pencils?
You can degrease the helmet if you use a degreaser which is not water or alcohol based. If you have a flatt non painted shell you can direct paint on it without any prep. If you have a painted shell you need to prep it.
Hey Martin, Thanks for another great video. I am curious if you are familiar with stencil transfers done by tattoo artists. They use a paper that allows them to trace their artwork onto it and then it instantly becomes a stencil. The difference is that, if you are not happy with the placement, you can wipe it off and try again. Might be something to think about. Keep up the great work! Love the sense of humour by the way!!!
Martin, how do you get the Gorilla Squad transfer lettering? I am doing my own custom paint jobs on my RC Boats. These arent toy boats, my smallest boat does 72mph. I'm replicating an offshore race boat, STIHL offshore racing. I'm having a hell of a time trying to get the letters on the boat. Everything else was a breeze using 5mm, 3mm & 2mm masking tape to do the graphics. I printed the STIHL logo out and using an exacto-knife to cut it out but the paint is bleeding under the card stock paper.
Im just so in love with this design. Could I send you my racing helmet for a similar treatment? I have some ideas, would love to get a collab with you 🤞🏼
How much does the clearcoat protects against UV ? Will the watercolors fade over time ? How about if it was sharpie pens instead ? I know theses fade without clearcoat. Will the clearcoat be enough to prevent that ? Also, great videos, as usual ! I love what you do. And I quite like your designs as well
Just found your channel. I am a graphite artist, never tried watercolor as medium. Does or will this technique work for metal as well? As in fenders and tank for a motorcycle.
Stunning Skills 👍😁👍 QUESTION... Does the surface of the Helmet have a tooth for the pencils to grip to? How do you stop the sweat/moisture from your hand smudging the artwork? BRILLIANT VIDEO... YOU HAVE A NEW SUBSCRIBER 👍😃👍
Hi Martin, great job on that helmet. Question: did you sand a bit of surface before drawing with pencil? Buy the whey u get a nother subscriber. Cheers.
Guten tag herr Martin. I really impressed that pencils are good enough for such things. I want to ask about chrome painting. Some people say that chrome mirror effect extremely difficult to get. More difficult than usual painting. Is that so? I decided to paint my bike same as Contador's 2015 S-Works Tarmac, because it's the best looking bike I've ever seen. However my frame is aluminium, and I'll, probably, polish aluminium and cover it in varnish... Not sure what to do yet.
I'm far from professional painter, really far. This winter I used Martins DIY videos to learn how to paint my sons bmx-frame. I used only montana gold colors. Their chrome gold is lit before the clearcoat ( but so sensitive). If you touch it it Will be marks in it directly. Even after when its clearcoated there will be marks. If one oversprays it with another different color the goldish background is to soft for the new color and you will have flakes falling of if denting it. I'm ok with my paintjob but will never use cromecolor myself again. Cheaper, easier and way better to leave that to the pros. You can check out the frame at bajkonconcepts on FB. Loved this video Martin. Your jobs are beyond epic and videos are so useful. Would love to let u paint one of my bikes.
Superb work, I am an artist myself (graphite on paper) but never thought to do my own motorcycle helmet... Tell me, do you have a motorcycle helmet specific video? I'd love to see the prep work beforehand to give me some ideas... Cheers, subbed also :D
@@ETOE How do you decide if it does need to be primed? is it based on what material or finish is on the helmet already? What type should we look out for?. I've seen the video on primers and protecting the helmet, very interesting!. I had no idea paint could do that
Hi Martin, could you write down the type of mask & filter you are referring to and maybe put in a link as a suggestion. I don't quite understand - no offense, English is also not my mother tongue. All the supply and suggestions might be the topic of a great video.

Looks super, very nice!
Before you apply the stickers over the already painted parts, do you save the painting by clearcoat first?
AWESOME LIKE ALWAYS!!!
Very nice job..congratulation.😉👍

doesn't the hand smudge the carbon traced drawing?

Very cool trick ! 👍🏽 I’ll try it !
I suppose it works only on white surface ? On black, the colors of pencils are not efficient ?
Great job 👏👍👍👍
Wow great idea sir.. thankyou very much
Nicely done. Would you ever consider doing a video of wrapping a frame in car vinyl wrap?
No it looks cheap and if you wrap tubes you have lots of visible seams. I don`t like that. Other RUclipsrs do that. So recommend their videos.
No way in hell I could do something this artistic, but damn that was satisfying to watch!
You are awesome. Wish I had a steady hand. Looks great, thanks

Definitely!
Quality work 👌

Please check my other helmet painting videos to get an idea about prep work needed.
Inspired to do my own helmet!. Though I'm not sure if I missed if you primed the helmet before hand? Or was able to do it right onto the surface?
I used no primer. But lots of helmets need primer. But you need a special primer which does not destroy the shell of the helmet.
@@ETOE How do you decide if it does need to be primed? is it based on what material or finish is on the helmet already? What type should we look out for?. I've seen the video on primers and protecting the helmet, very interesting!. I had no idea paint could do that
@@aaronh560 use the specific primer which is suitable for the specific material your helmet shell is made of.
One question...did you sanded the helmed before start drawing?
No
