    Default Helmets primed?

    Did British BMB and G&S paratrooper helmets get primed before painting? From the paint loss I have observed, especially the steel rim where the paint always wears off, I can't discern a primer layer, but I am not a paint expert, which is why I am asking.

    Thank you.

    Are you thinking about ANY primer or a different colour / red? primer?

    I don’t think I’ve ever seen a traditional red primer applied but most Brit lids I’ve seen have multiple layers of paint - it’s hard to know if the bottom layer is/was a preparatory coat.

    I don't think so, more likely a chemical dip before being painted.
