Welding helmet that is, Well its been a solid year and a bit, of 4-7hours a day welding.. and i thought i'd give the ol helmet a wash and some freshen up with some new stickers.. other than a damp rag throughout the year she cops a bit of a flogging.. just thought i'd waste 2 secs of your time and show you.. lol.
Before..

Love the Skully sticker. I also find they work better if they have a lens in them.

People pay a fortune for laser eye surgery but this system works just as well.

for some odd reason.. I'm dissapointed it wasn't rattle canned black!? what kind of example are you setting!?
Hmm I guess if thats the case, then you really would have got rid of all the plastic and just worn the head strap part (or made a billet one)and left the neck part on cause it sorta looks like a bellypan, and cut the visor down to the bare minimum, just enough to hide the important parts.

Nahhh, my old ones lasted almost a year, and even then they only faded a little, SFmag ones were pretty weak though.. but i've never cracked me lens or melted me helmet.. The Signature pic is me running most of my days at between 26 - 32 volts, gets pretty hotski but helmet and sticks seem to hold up fine..

Lol trust me mate i thought the same thing, took me years to put one on, and i thought yep melted in one day for sure.. but held up to punishment.. granted all the stickers i used were mx TLD stickers so im guessing they were UV protected or something.. the SFmag stix only lasted a month or so and they went clear, so colour was blasted.. As for the skully decal i put right on my muzzle i'm not sure how long it will last. i'll take some more piccies in a month or so see how they look.. :D
