Painting a Fencing Mask

[Mika_]

For anybody finding this looking for ways to paint their own masks: in my experience metallic sharpie shows up REALLY well on masks! If your design can look nice with silver/gold, you can probably just hand draw it on with a sharpie! This spray painting method also works really well too, it's just a bit more labor intensive. I've used both methods and they're both good, just depends on the colors you want and complexity of your design.

I'm so doing this when I get the cash. Thanks for the tutorial.

Classical fencer here (non-HEMA) so I've never gotten all too adventurous with my masks. Is there any vision issues? Like distraction from the differing colors, that you've noticed?

I'm glad to see that you and your wife share in each others hobbies. I'm also fortunate enough to have a girlfriend who enjoys many of my hobbies as well. I hope my girlfriend and I will have an opportunity to join a HEMA club together someday. BTW great project. Love the designs as well.

Great tips! Using the advice to custom my AF HEMA mask Empire style!

When you were cutting out sections of tape on the mask, did the x-acto knife leave "cuts" or scratches on the mesh?

What brand and model are your masks? very nice!

[oskareriksson]

this is driving me crazy! Where have I seen that Wolf face before?! DX

[sallyr]

is there any type of clear coat going on after, or would that stop the mask being conductive for fencing and registering a hit??
