We took Duke's beat-up, dirty old Riddell Speed Victor Helmet and made it into a like-new collectible! He made a good choice with this new Buffalo Bills Helmet!
Restoring old helmets is a fun way to create something form nothing. Have you worked on your own helmets?

This is my first video of yours. I’m a huge Bills fan and I am attempting my own restoration. Of course Facebook knows what I’m doing so they showed me an ad for your channel. Any tips on painting if I want to change the color? What about fixing gouges in the plastic?

@greengridiron Жыл бұрын

For painting we always recommend bringing it to an expert, but you can always use spray paint if you don't mind the look! But, gouges are a bit tougher to fix up.

All i need is a gray SF-2EG-II-HD facemask for a Speedflex and a dark Oakley visor and It will have the finished look. If you don’t know what Derrick Henry’s new Speedflex looks like, just look up Derrick Henry 2022-2023 and you will be able to see it.
