wishEMT Posted April 23, 2018 Share Posted April 23, 2018 Changed things up in my fibreglass 941 with a bit of the rust-oleum plasti-dip stuff and some automotive pin striping. Foam is vn with the Maltese sling I bought a few seasons ago. We’ll see how the durability goes and if it doesn’t work i’ll be back to a plain white mask.

Cat eye only though. https://goalieparts.com/t/armadilla Finding a similar foam will be the fun part. And refurbing with rubatex or eva kills the value for anyone looking for a proper Armadilla. Fun project for sure. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BauerHockey47 Posted April 24, 2018 Share Posted April 24, 2018 Has anyone had their mask refurbished by New Image Goalie Masks? If you have, I'd appreciate hearing about your experience. I have a Bauer Profile 960 that needs some TLC. Once it's refurbished, I plan on swapping out all the hardware, most of which is rusted over, and installing Maltese padding and new backplate straps to complete the makeover.

I didn't deal with Ray directly, but I have an Eddy Custom Kevlar that he did the refurb on for someone else. Looks brand new. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unbelievable mask, I've had for a bit over a year now and its been nothing but amazing. I've taken some bombs in this thing and been run a few times and never had any ringing or any other problems. Are those Outsider Straps on the backplate? If so, how do you like them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ray from New Image does amazing refurbs. Last I heard he was no longer doing them though. Its been a while so maybe he has gotten back into it. He is on facebook just search for him and contact him so you know for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've seen closed cell foams that look similar. But I've never seen an Armadilla in person so its hard to say. 1 hour ago, Mike24 said: what grit sand paper is used to sand down masks? Depends what you're painting it with and how much you're taking off of it. If you're using automotive paints you should follow the guidelines of the paint being used. Standard rule of thumb is get everything up to 220 grit before priming (grits used before depend on the condition of the surface), then work up to 400 grit for a single stage urethane or 600 grit for basecoat/clearcoat. All sanding after priming is generally wet sanded. Theres a bit of a learning curve with this kind of stuff if you want to do it right. It also requires special tools/equipment and consumables that most people don't have kicking around their garage. You could always do the dirty work yourself and delegate the final steps to a painter or someone in the autobody industry if you're going with a simple design. This is about as involved as it gets for a refurb. Final product will be nice if its done right though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The question is more turnaround and cost. Look around locally first for sure. I know there used to be quite a few guys in the states that would do refurbs. I know Warwick does them. But I'm not sure if that's only their masks... or others as well. Last I looked I know Ray was done doing refurbs but was still making foam kits. That's always an option too. If you can't find anyone and would be willing to ship your mask north of the border, PM me and let me know what you're looking to have done.

SaveByRichter35 Posted April 25, 2018 Author Share Posted April 25, 2018 Doug Wager of Weasel Head Custom Designs does refurbs as well. He is in the Philly area I believe. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
