Helmet Painting

I quite fancy getting my helmet painted (

). Does anyone know any local places apart from Bike Paints that does this sort of thing.

Im looking for a variation to my present design (Shoei Kagayama).

I have also had a helmet airbrushed by Grant Hood. Work was excelent. http://www.granthood.co.uk/gallerypages ... otland.php

How long did it take to get it done? Dont have a spare helmet.

Depending on the detail really.

My one took a month, as he was doing a special bike for a movie premier.
Depends on the time of year also, summer time being longest delay.

Treat yourself to a new plain white lid and get that painted , use your old lid until you new one is ready.

Plain colours tend also to be a bit cheaper.

Not a big fan of that style of helmet (Only my opinion) but the paintwork is superb

coullstar · Post by **coullstar** » Thu Mar 27, 2008 4:47 pm

Looks good, I went for something simple as I prefer the plain style. Nice little Scottish touch on mine as well.

coullstar · Post by **coullstar** » Fri Mar 28, 2008 11:40 am

Picked it up this morning. Its really good with some nice touches. Love the colour combo and the flag on the back has come out well. I know it not that original and TBH I wish I had put the "sun" on both sides. He was apologetic and gave it too me basically half price.

Already knocked the rear spoiler vent off when putting the lining back in, anybody know any good silicon sealant I could use to put it back on? Oh and you slag the house off to hell, its not mine.

metallninja · Post by **metallninja** » Fri Mar 28, 2008 1:24 pm

Nice

Grant · Post by **Grant** » Fri Mar 28, 2008 1:29 pm

Yeah it looks good, but I can't help thinking there is something missing above the flag at the back of the lid.

Nice job, how much was it?
I believe Arai use double sided tape to stick on bits. Halfords do a range of "Outdoor Fixer Pads" and B&Q supply "Sellotape Fixers" for use in bathrooms.
