DP Calendar reissue - Metalua Mutant refurb

I picked up this Mutant off ebay a while back. I saved about $100 off the average market price because it had a bad case of mask rust. I just finished the refurb on it today to bring it back to it's original look.

Nice job Lee!!! This is completely off subject, but following the same line of restoration. Foam Filling a mask is the same stuff as Foam Insulation in a Can right?????? I wondered this because I went to go vit my Dad yesterday and he was ung Foam Insulation in a can and it looked just like Mask Foam Filling stuff...

Anyway, AWESOME work!!!

Looks great!

I didn't realize that darker colored masks could rust like that.

That's a little scary.

Thanks guys...appreciate the comments Foam Filling a mask is the same stuff as Foam Insulation in a Can right??????

No...far from it. It expands differently...it will stay soft in the middle and keep expanding until your mask looks like a balloon. Plus I've also been told it eats away at the latex which will wreck your mask.

wow Lee, you did this yourself?

yup...it's been Yukonized
