Would anyone know what type of paint was used on the m35,m40 german helmet?
Was it an enamel (oil based) paint which would be baked on to the shell?
Or was it a laquer (acetone) type that would also be baked on?
I understand that the finish was sprayed on over a primer coat.
And the second question is concerning the manufacture of the decal.
Were they an enamel type transfer, applied to the painted helmet and baked on to the finish?
Or a laquer printed 'water slide' decal, that had a protective top coat aplied after application?
