    It looks great, Gaz !

    Hard to tell it is not an original cork finish.

    You now need to gently 'scuff ' the shell in obvious places
    (like the dome) to more or less match the rim.

    Wait until a hot, humid day when your hands are very damp,
    then rub them on the surface too. This will give it
    a bit darker, slightly 'used' appearance.
    Hi Steve.

    Thanks good tips, i will use them, on the pics it looks pretty authentic,but maybe I should have shown it,next to the real deal for comparison. But this is for display only,and would not fool an expert for a minute.

    But this is my first restoration,and I am well chuffed with the result,and thanks again for your approval/tips

    Hi Gaz,
    What can we say, a superb job done there it is really good to see that old helmet come back to life, alot better than the glowing helmet lol.

    Hi Dave.

    Thanks Mate,and I totally agree with you, I'm not sure how long I could have kept looking at the Neon lid,it had to be restored
