I picked my awesome robes up from the seamstress house with all intentions on Saturday of wearing it as my helmet was finished bar the visor.
Saturday morning I took my helmet and placed it on my lap so I could start hot gluing the visor in. After struggling with the visor for about 10minutes I gave up, As I lifted the helmet I noticed it was sticking to my shorts and as I lifted further the front peeled off from the nose. It seemed as though the paint dried on top but was still tacky. After sanding for a good 2hours I attempted to repaint with no such luck. So I packed up and headed of to Wells Smash Repairs on the GC for a paint quote.
After intentionally quoting me $400 to have it "painted and looking good" Corey (the owner) finally asked what it was for. So I told him what it was and what I do, He was still a little confused so I told him I raise money for charity and go see sick kids in hospital. After hearing that he dropped it down to $100 and the deal was done. Today I went to pick it up and he was there waiting at reception for me. When I walked in he handed me the helmet for me to inspect it. I could not believe it, The work that he did on it was fantastic, It matches my robes near perfectly and the shine on it...well I can see myself in it. He shook my hand and started to walk away, so I asked if I was to pay the receptionist. He said no and what I do I so if for such a cause he did it all for free. I could not believe my ears so I asked him to repeat it and sure enough he said it was done for free. below is the end result minus the glove, boots and visor in.
I must say I am VERY happy with the outcome so far.
The only down side is the 4month and the lack of communication from Crow62prop house. He has supposedly sent them for the 3rd time yesterday. He told me that the company he uses to send his stuff with didnt send a heap of orders......so this is a warning to anyone buying from him you will be delayed and delayed, expect to wait over 2 months for your order, Not the 1 week to manufacturer and then the 1 week for shipping
