Any advice for removing post-war black paint?

Looks like a SD whitewash Heer to me, not a luftwaffe
you did a good job removing the paint IMO

Correct. It is M42, SD, winter camo. I wanted to show how it could and should be done. It takes a long time, so patience is the most important tip.

Sorry Pzo, thought it was the original posters helmet.
Your's turned out very nicely

Is that really a Quist M42? With a decal?

If so, you have a rather interesting and noteworthy find.
