Spray Paint Face Mask

[vinlax30]

I was bored one day and decieded to spray paint my facemask of my CPX to make it look like chrome,which came out pretty good until the games where it began to start chipping and became very stupid,so i wondering if any of you no a way where i can take off all of this spary paint

ahhh the age old question. how to get paint off. easy. use an alcohol based cleaner such as.............nail polish remover, plain alcohol, and or paint remover

just do another coat

You could redo it, and then put a sealer on. That way, you'll get the cool look, and wont chip as much. Or, you could shell out the cash for a new CPX facemask (chrome, of course). But, I'm not really sure if you could buy a new one. If I was you, I'd shoot cascade an e-mail asking if you can buy a new facemask. If I was you, I wouldnt mention that you tried spray painting it.

spraypaint+lacrosse=bad. always. it looks cool for the first day, then it gets touched and the whole thing falls apart. i remember me and my friend spraypainted our heads and shafts and it was horrible scraping the paint out of every groove.

Just a word of advice. . .

spraypainting your equipment is about as good as coloring it with a sharpie.

Wouldn't you be chroming all match?

You can't buy a new face mask. Cascade wont sell you one as then you will fiddle with your helmet and might (if you are a complete 'tard) put the mask on wrong, then sue cascade

I've spraypainted facemasks for hockey with decent results. I just used Tremclad primer and rust paint. It's held up pretty good.

Now, I had a mask that was already sanded down to the bare wire when I did this, so with the primer and a few coats of paint, I got a great bond........I wonder if Vin tried to paint over the rubbery epoxy crap they coat facemasks with? That might not work so well.

yeah i say you put a coat of primer over it and then do 2-3 coats of the color. then you would have it like you wanted.

That's a solid bump.
