Well, my next question is where do I get this duracoat paint and finish? Another thing is, where do I get some good camo stencils?

Thanks bro, I appreciate your time!

if you can't get a hold of Wookie, the Duracoat is available at Home Depot and the stencils are nothing more than clear acetate printer sheets that are sticky on one side. They are available at Staples or similar store.

http://www.duracoat-finishes.com/ has both paint, stencils, airbrushes, degreasers, cleaning supplies, and just about anything else you would need.

Special Ops will be coming out with a stencil and paint kit in the next few weeks. I was suppose to be released about a month ago but snags were hit but overcome.

If your looking for a good Digi-Camo stenicle, take graphing paper (The ones with all the little squares on it), and cut out little patterns and use that. It seems to work pretty well.

That's a good idea...why didn't i think of it? I want to do a grayscale digital camo job on my mask for starters, and wait to see how well it works. Sadly i can't take off my goggles....all that comes off is the visor. Any good suggestions? I thought plastic wrap and tape to keep the goggles safe and paint free.

Regarding the goggles - what model are they?

All goggles should have removeable lenses (otherwise you ought to be buying a new set every year)

If there are parts you cannot remove and want to mask then I would put on newspaper or clingfilm
(I believe you call it saran wrap in the US?) And seal the edges with tape.

If you are masking a lens I would want to do as much as possible to protect from contact with any chemicals - therfore multiple layers of paper or saran wrap/clingfilm, but a tape that is not going to leave a residue on the lens.

Well, I'm Canadian, I call it saran wrap by the brand (yes it's a brand) otherwise it's plastic wrap. But thanks for the advice and the link friend My mask is the JT Radar

The Radar is in the Elite range so the goggle frame can be removed and then it is easier to remove the lens.

The official guide does not give a lot of information but does show how the frame and lens are re-inserted:

A couple of YouTube videos show lens removal and replacement once the frame is off:

The final video isclearly a different model, but some parts snap on / off in the same manner.

The first time you disassemble everything will be extremely tight so be firm but not overly rough. When you reassemble and fit the lens they can sometimes seem impossible to finish off, if so take the lens off again and begin from another position.

Did spec ops ever come out with paint kits?
