Rust, preventing and cleaning
Sir Nate:
Maybe I will sell my helm, It has a bunch of dents, it is too small, my eyes are to low with my coif and arming cap on, my nose is squished. There is a bit of a rust spot on the side, etc etc. I already have a cheap helm to start practicing on :).
But I have a feeling windex can't get rid of Dents
Aiden of Oreland:
Paint inside??

Yep. :) It's an easy way to prevent rust, and you don't usually see the inside anyway. Historically, it seems to have been somewhat common to paint the outside as well, though that's something you don't see a lot of in modern reenactment.
Sir Rodney:
I use a flat black spray (shaker can) primer on the interior of my bascinet every time I tear it down to inspect and/or replace the padding. Of course I do this after any rust spots have been wire wheeled away. The interior of my visor seems to need it more often due to all the condensation from breathing hard.
Sir James A:
I actually use spray-on truck bed liner. About the same price, and seems to hold up better than just paint.
