Hey so I was wondering what people think is the best way to create this paint pattern on a helmet or what people have done to get this pattern.

I've seen people use a fish net and just paint over it to create it.

Any kind of mesh, I used some from an old clothing hamper. I've heard of chicken wire, onion/potato bags, fishing nets, fishnet stocking, just about anything that has that kind of square pattern. Make sure when you're doing it not to move the item you're using for a pattern. if you're going to do the entire thing and or have a large piece, tape it down to your helmet. Make sure there are no creases in the material as that will leave spots that do not have the pattern, or very blurry/faded looking pattern. That's an upclose of my pattern using the laundry bag. I use tan, CB and brown paints.
