The m1 helmet paint was perfect to restore my late war helmet to its former glory. Took 3 coats to get it just right with a day dry time in between each coat. I applied it with a mixture of a brush and a rag. Shipping was fast. I also got the pleasure of meeting the owner at DDay Ohio in his vendor booth. He sewed on chin straps to completely finish the helmet. Can't say enough good things about Jmurray44. Trust them for all your M1 helmet needs!
