Well I looked at the Acme Art Co. website and just loved the way the masked are paint with the bigger than life characters and colours. So I sent Ron a few emails and PM's on here and get the process going. The mask is not finished and back in my hands yet, so I will leave the review part until them. But until them I will post the pictures as I get them so we can all enjoy the process. I'm a little behind on these post's so there will be 3 in a row......save all of you the wait

Part 1 is of the prep part of the job.

Shaving the orginal paint off my Olie 7000




With all the foam removed from inside

Part 2 - These are the pictures of the art work masked and drawn on the mask to get the layout before the painting starts.

The top of the Mask - My team is called the "Warthogs"

All I can say at this point about Ron's work is WOW, and there's no paint yet!!!

Part 4 - Final product, and review

I have not got the mask back from Ron yet as he still needs to do the finishing touches, and clear coat. Then the clear coat needs to cure before it's trip back across Canada to Calgary. once I get the mask back I will do a review of the Acme Art Co. experience, as well as the Olie 7000 mask as I have not done that yet either (you know 2 birds one stone). If I get pictures of the final product before it's shipped I will put them up.

So sharp and clean with the lines. Great stuff, Ron! Looks awesome.

[Cujo_64]

wow, very nice, might have to ship my 2000 to them to do, if they do this...

great work...

[Jester]

Very nice indeed. I like the crisp lines and details as well as the colors used.

[Martysgirl74]

Impressive!!! Ron is certainly a guy that takes pride in his work........wow!

[Telgip33]

Yes Ron does take great pride in his work! One of the best things is his ability to take a few random thoughts that I gave them and turn them into what I wanted.....actually more than what I wanted if that's possible.

Here is the mask I am getting from Ron, complete with a pre-existing paint job.


Here are some of the other pictures he sent me when I was deciding on a mask.

The Futurama mask is awesome!!!!

Ron does brilliant work!!!

Its pretty amazing to see how a mask paint job goes togethor...

Ron, my buddy Mike told me about a tool that basically can remove the paint from a mask really quickly, I beleive it is an airtool sander used in the automotive industry to remove paint... you should look into that, I bet it beats the heck out of using a razor blade!!!

Your talents are simply amazing with that paint!!!

[Lumpy50]

Telgip33, what a phenomenal mask!! I love the floating smilies. All the masks look great.

[Telgip33]

Thanks Lumpy50, I REALLY happy with how it turned out......and I think the happy faces in the back ground will tie it in with my happy face gear perfect!!!

Thanks everyone,

I think I've tried pretty much all the sanding techniques out there. With the razor I can shave in between the factory ( or custom ) paint and primer without harming the gel coat of most masks, after that it's just a little hand sanding to remove the primer. I know it's a slower method but very little mask material is removed, just paint. Keeps the dust to a minimum as well.

Bruno,

That's a prototype mask I made here at my place, it's more compact than my "A" model with a different chin geometry. It fits me well although I've never worn it in a game. Originally I was going to wear it with grey primer but then I went off and painted it with some serious metal flake gold.

The design, a Pharaoh holding paint brushes is a refined version of a stock art design I do for a company called Fusion. I haven't worn it because it doesn't match my gear. It was a successful experiment with paint though.
