You know... a guide... for me to follow.
F****! I forgot to take all the pics!

Here's what I did.



I bought the KwikSteel JB Weld putty.
Removed all the cushions inside the helmet.
Covered the holes on the top from the inside for the putty to sit on.
Placed it all on 8 holes, waited it to dry and then sand.

The hardest part was the front shroud to remove.
Grinding the shit took me about 1 hour.
After you grind it, there will be hollow holes.
Grab tape and place it inside the helmet for the putty to sit on to cover the holes.
After that's done, use the putty and cover the hollow holes, then cover the "FAST" logo and letters.
Then again, sand the shit.
Drill holes, and place any NVG shroud you want.

And paint.

You could probably do this in a day. Took me a while cause I didn't have the patience to hold a dremel to grind the front shroud for an hour ish.
