Ok. Here is mine.

Bear in mind it used a single can of white spraypaint, some black paint I had laying around and the finest paintbrush I could find in the house.

The designs are my take on traditional NZ Maori 'koru' designs.

Total cost = 8 euros (about 12USD).

Yup, my friend who is very talented and is actually an art major at CU did this. He works with acrylic paints which have help up very well! The texture is pretty neat as well as the style, I dig it!

Im gonna paint my helmet.
Has anyone done the full helmet using brushes and masking it?
I will do the clear coat in spray form but everything else I was think of doing hand.
As the design I have in mind is pretty color full and has lots of detail etc in it
Thanks
