Custom Paint Helmet Thread!!

I think Tyler gets them actually done by Troy Lee Designs.
I just finished this one on Sunday. Luke Skywalker's helmet from the "first" movie. Yes, I can be a bit of a fanboy sometimes.

Calm down, big guy. My mistake. Already fixed.
Hah... That's kinda cool in a really geeky way. Was that done on a 661 Evolution?
I'm just bustin' chops. Simmer down. Rad helmet tho
Yep. Fiberglass version, originally black and gold.
Thx, JK.

Can't beleive it's been something like a year since I posted. Forgot I ever started this thread...but it's still one of the best for pics. Wonder how close it is to longest running?
Anyway, it reminded me that now I'm back on here I can post pics of my paintjob. Buddy of mine and his dad run an auto body & custom shop and did this one. My only request were a light base color and the 2 offset hot rod stripes.
He did it bare bones for me so if you see flaws, know he doesn't do work like this on a good helmet. It's a 4 year old D2 that was scratched to death. I just asked him to freshen it up to let me get 1 last season out of it. Washing the liner helped too.
His father did the clear coat and pics don't do it justice...like a white version of liquid mercury. Stoked. Oh, and He painted Geritt's lid too.
Notice the black strip around the base...it's called Black Cherry Pearl and only shows in bright sunlight. He said he had some leftover and wanted to play a little:

Holy **** biketiger, that is amazing!!!! I love it.
It's only on it's second visor...
Holy crap. I've already broken 4 this season. You're one lucky bastard.It's only on it's second visor...
Thanks.
I can't stop watching Star Wars for my next helmet.
^ Every time I look at the ProTec Auger, I can't help but think that it's got an awesome shape for a Biker Scout theme...
This thread doesn't get as much action as it should. Let's see some more lids, people!
I know this is a bit bizarre, and maybe a bit lame. But I am working on some vinyl decals for my helmet that need to be done this afternoon at some point. But I need some information that I don't have access too, (I left my helmet at home...)
Does anyone have the jaw measurements of a D2 (height at the front, and length (from the front vents, to the vent in the rear?))??? It would be a huge help, so thanks in advance if anyone has that information.

I don't have my helmet here with me at work, but I am VERY interested to see the result. Keep us posted with photos.
that helmet looks sick!!! came out awesome!
Who's Bart?
Me....
@LMC.: That would be me sir!
Representing Holland / Europe...
haha
Obviously it's missing the rubber trimmings... trouble sourcing these.
Face port has a Bell Autosports helmet left-over trimming.
This was a clapped-out 02 D2 Carbon, previously.

I think I'll donate mine a second time to Shane Jordan so he can play with designs before my next helmet.
Herndon should post his up here. The guy that painted Motomike's martian helmet did it and it looks great. Airbrush Designs out of Charlotte. To look at the helmet pics off his site, you'd never think of buying from him, but everything he's done on D2's has been awesome.

Here is the vinyl work. It's just a coincidence it's going up today. I just wanted to have my helmet a tribute to the best place in the world, The united states and to be specific NY. So here ya go.
how is Dylan's work? i have a new 2010 D2 on the way and want it painted asap.
my buddy Stacy has been featured on pinkbike a lot and was thinking about having him do some work as well

I think Jeremiah's work is reall really good. I think if he could focus his efforts on it a little bit more and didn't have soo much going on his work could potentially rival that of Troy Lee's. Some of his helmets are pretty damn impressive. I had him do something simple on mine, and it cam out great. it looks good, the finish iis nice and he used good looking paint. All in all I am very pleased.
yeah i know he's been swamped from what he has said on RM.
im sure his prices are a helluva better than TLD's
Hey nate, what do you mean by vinyl work?
The NYC graphics are vinyl stickers...much like moto decals (think heavy duty vinyl).
This is what I was curious about the jaw measurements for...they came out pretty good IMO.

stickers assumingly.
That helmet looks sick!!! Is that all paint pen?
That really reminded me of the old Lucas Arts game, Maniac Mansion - Day of the Tentacle.
