E.g. (click on these two to enlarge)

Guess not may painters are willing to show their work upclose...

Sure you might spot minor faults but i try to work as tidy as possible and correct these faults by respraying or touching up. It's still hand work not press 'print' on a inkjet so you can apply stickers.

I just love painting and coming up with designs and turning them in reality; it's priceless when you hand over the helmet and you see them smiling big and have a look on their faces (some in disbelief) 'is that mine!?".

Very nice job Molphy ! Your designs are so cool and clean.
You painted only on D3 ? Everything is painted or there is some stickers ?

Here is my last paint job on my D3, and on a D2 for a friend.

 

[Christiaan]

Malphy's work is all paint, no decals involved

Geez M@LPHY is killing it. Some artist needs to step and try to challenge this guy.

Bonjour Alex Paul!

Is this you!

MONSTER Energy preferred painter for Jared Graves and the likes...

AP Designs USA! http://www.apdesignsusa.com/index2.html

Those dollar bills are obviously non paint!
I have used chrome and gold foil, not worth sending out a helmet for a +350 chrome job, when partial chrome is needed.
Up till now all is 100% paint... D2, D3, THE One, THE T2, BMX frames, MTB frames, Sigg bottles, O Crowbar outriggers etc.

Really!? It's all good each painter to his own work. One Love!

'The Beast' was just done in time (a little over 2 days) for the Randaberg BMX Supercross.

[wysiwyg]

Has anyone got a left/right/top/back template for the D2 or even the D3?

 

[M@LPHY]

W.I.P.

Sanded back Peaty D3.:

Gilding the TLD SE logo.:

Party like a... .:

 

[M@LPHY]

Oh and i think Transformers have arrived.:

#autobots

 

[M@LPHY]

It needs a second clearcoat to 'burry' the metaflakes still!

 

[Mo(n)arch]

Wow.
Greatest work so far. Absolutely stunning. The only downside (to me) is the Rockstar logo. But I know that the athlete has to represent it.

 

[bizutch]

I gotta say that is seriously impressive. I feel like I'm at Southeby's auction house.

 

[stiksandstones]

Great work yet again M@lphy

 

[M@LPHY]

Great work yet again M@lphy

I'll have to do 2 more as you can see.:

 

[M@LPHY]

#15 err. number 2...

and number 3... reverting back to standard yellow ROCKSTAR's!

Three different sized D3's btw. XS/S, M/L, XL/XXL!

 

[UiUiUiUi]

No metal flake???

Nope... had to match the Fox 360 dye-sublimated colors of the jersey.

You dissappointed now!?

Only way you could disappoint me is if you promised me a paint job and didn't deliver.

 

[Supa8]

This is the stuff I like to see on RM. Awesome stuff M@lphy.

 

[Udi]

Some very impressive work there M@lphy.

Just a question out of curiosity - what product would be recommended for a gloss or matte clearcoat over raw carbon (no paint)? And also, what do people use to paint the rubbery plastic piping/edges of the helmet?

 

[stiksandstones]

I am having our guys paint BMX olympic helmets, I will post pics next week before the lids head off to london.
Nic Long, Alise Post, Sam Willoughby, Khalen Young, Sifiso Nhalpo and Mariana Pajon.....super sick. I think a certain dutch guy is painting some D3's for a certain euro BMX olympic team, can't wait to see those as well!!

Gee thanks!

Over raw carbon... i assume with a gelcoat sans paint on top!?
(or did you sand it back to the bare carbon?)

I suggest two layers of 2 Pack clear, with inbetween sanding.
2 layers adds more depth to the carbo weave.

With a flat finish you still need a glossy 1st layer to put the flat clear on.
I suggest a soft-touch clear, since that is more mar resistant.

Helmet trimmings; rubber / semi plastic. Troublesome!
You'll need a softener agent to make the paint flexible since 'plastic' will keep on working & 'sweating'...
In the longterm it will let go, crack and flake off.

Perhaps a car wrapping foil!? A quality cast multi layer PVC foil.
