What is the best way to restore this M42?
I have had this helmet for a bit and now I think its time to restore it. I am just wondering of how to block those two small drilled holes at the front of the helmet and what is the best paint brands to use. Also other notes about this helmet is a ET62 with a serial number of 2108.
Regards, Sohail.

You'll need to weld 'em up.
But its a lot of work to make a decent looking helmet starting off with that.
If it were me, I would find something with some original paint and go that way instead .....

Yeah it would take quite a effort to make this helmet look good also the part welding is defiantly not my cup of tea. I was wondering is there any good filler I could use on this helmet?

I dont mind a repaint restoration but i'm against using putty.
You're not bogging a car for a MOT you know...

That is true. Now that I think of it I think putty would ruin it. Any good paint brands you would recommend? Also I think I found a good way to hide the two holes with a bread bag strap.

This is the wrong forum , there is a restoration section where you can ask such questions.
Oh sorry about that will keep that in mind next time.
try JB WELD.
Hmmm will have a look.
