No, it's my understanding that there's evidence that real Coolus helmets were, at least sometimes, spun- even looking at them they sure seem awfully perfect to have been made otherwise; and there's other clear evidence that it was possible- look at the toolmarks on many paterae- they clearly indicate spinning.
