I got it so reasonable price I did not mind about the weird exterior looks. When I got it at home it became clear it had been spray-lacquered... I decided to use acetone to wipe away the lacquer. now this helmet looks like this. There is a photo of how it looked, while wiping it with acetone and before/after comparison. Any advices or ideas how to get the lacquer away from the decal ? I dont dare to touch it with acetone. Maybe better to leave like this and accept the a but ruined decal ?</blockquote><br> Upload Files:Add another file ...Maximum files: 10 · Maximum file size: 10 MB · Allowed file types: jpg,jpeg,gif,png,bmp,pdfCancel Share this: Share on X (Opens in new window) X Share on Facebook (Opens in new window) Facebook Like this:Like Loading...
