Another thing that works great on ABS hockey masks is a heat gun used for paint stripping. I actually started painting my first hockey this weekend (I\'ve had the blank for over a year and decided to try painting it finally) and I reshaped it with e heat gun. I just ran it over the edges and bent it with my hands. I experimented with trying to the get it to bubble up the paint a little and the nose started to warp...so like Mike said, be careful. Otherwise, it works great!
As far as learning this stuff (painting hockeys, I mean), there is no wrong answer... People can teach you different techniques and that\'s fine, but half the fun is figuring out what works for you. Granted, some things work much better than others, but just have fun and try different things. I\'m having a blast doing that on mine and I like how it\'s coming out so far.
