Not a pro, not by a long shot, but I've worked with stencils and airbrushing before. You could use tape of different widths to get the lines you'd need. Otherwise, it's just patience, a good eye and steady hands.
Custom Paint Helmet Thread!!
- Thread starter bizutch
- Start date
thought you guys would like to see this. I just finished up a mask for Tuukka Rask of the Boston Bruins. The paintjob is for the Winter Classic game Friday at Fenway.
my tld, after a few too many hours masking/painting.
Just find the centerline of the D2!
And work from there on... using painterstape for alignment / measurement to lay on your 3M Fineline tape or whichever vinyl tape you're using.
Remember; because of the fin it wil taper out at the back.
Check and re-check before painting!!! PREPPING IS KEY.
Really?
The true KEY is the prepping!
?
You need a flawless highgloss black basecaot!
All WILL show through, sanding marks, minor dust particles.
But then again 9 out 10 all those 'systems' are purely for decoration.
Let's see how the 'chrome' will held up with numerous masking like with an actual helmet paintjob.
Alsa 'MirraChrome', House of Kolor 'Kosmic Chrome' don't have the sheen like 'true' chrome. Like a chrome dip (metalizing) or chrome Nitrating!
use dirty water next time you try it. see how well it works. obviously prep work is key to any paint job
and obviously nothing will shine like chrome dipping a product.

sorry its my old helmet cause of a big crash. the designs is the original but the yellow color is made by me.^^^More pics, probably the coolest custom helmet on here.
its ok. now i have a tld d2 peaty 2008 brand new its so nice but not custom...i like the design, but personally dont like the color combo.
nice job though
i just picked up a D2 Piston and im gonna try my designs out on my old D2
how did you paint the yellow? did you mask off the black? I have the same helmet as a back up and wanted to do something similar. I have never once painted a helmet, though.
Lotta great helmets on here. Just wondering, does anyone have a blank ms paint friendly (i dont have photoshop) blank of a fox moto helmet? or can make one for me to save? I wanna do a quick paint job of a helmet paintjob im thinking about.
WOW perfect! thanks a ton
Finished painting my helmet a while ago but forgot to post some pictures so here it is. I'm really pleased with the results considering it was the first helmet i've ever painted.
I have a D2 that is way past it's prime, but I like wearing it while riding for fun because it's less obtrusive than my Thor moto lid.
I'd like to get the D2 painted before my trip out west this summer (June19th).
Would anyone on here be interested in painting it for me? PM me with some price estimates.
I'm looking for a pretty simple paintjob. Either plain matte black or perhaps some two-color scheme involving the WVU colors; all blue w/ offset yellow racing stripe?
Gimme some prices! I'm willing to ship the helmet ASAP if someone want's to work out a deal. Thanks.

Paging General Lee, Luke D and JDD to the white courtesy phone.
thanks for the help Butch. wasn't quite sure who to contact...
not to hi-jack, but how'd you fare this past weekend @ Mass'o'Nothin?

he can pretty much do whatever you want

3rd in the fantastical realm of "Open" class. It's where Semi-pros who think it's silly to automaticly bump into Pro class go when they don't have a NORBA license. My time would have won my age group in 30+ Cat 1 or been in the bottom 2/3 of Pro....so not bad for a fat, old man.
Where were you?

P.S. - sandbagger!
gonna catch hell for that oneyea sure, sick work, but $425 for a matte-black paintjob?
for a college student? - me thinks not.
plus costs for removal of current paintjob? not really in my price range...

BUMP!
i've always wanted to paint a toilet, never had the time though. I wanted to make it look like a big monster so that when you lift up the lid, it's the thing's mouth opening to eat your sh!t.BUMP!
on a side note, I'll throw George Ryan's lid up here when it's done at the end of the week.
A couple new ones I painted for the lady. The rabbit grenade helmet is for riding an old moped, hence the pedals and exhaust pipes.
The full facer looks like it was inspired a bit by Tag Gasparian?
I've also done a couple more since I last posted in this thread:
These were for the Highline Racing team.

Not sure I understand the ant in love with a checkered flag? But it looks you're an expert at clear coat.
