Would you say your anaconda does want some?
Sometimes to be asked for a race team doesn't have all the perks to go with it...
The Horror:
- drips in basecoat
- droops in lacquer
- overspray on trimmings, EPS liner, dual density liner
- painted over chin strap rivet, duct mesh
i.e. a cleared over vinyl bodge job!
Hilmit Doctor to The Rescue:
- strip the Daytona 3 altogether
- glass bead clean the duct meshings
- sand it clean to reveal the carbon base again
Cleaned the dual density liner.
Simple pearlwhite 'dirtjumper' style logos as per client instructions. #basecoat
Lacquered and good to go.

So has everyone retired from painting helmets, not been any updates on here in a long time.

Just painted this for BMX champ Sam Willoughby; it is our new black on black D3 Carbon, matte, but we had Jay in the paint shop lay down some white pins. Quick job.

I'm not retired per-se...but it's not my full time job anymore. I still paint on the side, but haven't done mountain bike helmets in awhile. Here are a few..
Here's my personal
TLD D3
I’ve got a Troy lee D2 and D3 to paint, where is everyone getting the pipping to redo the trim on it and has anyone replaced the D3 piping and put something similar to what is on the D2.
Thanks
