sweet paintjob dude did you build it up layer upon layer

Yeah, a white base layer with coats of transparent pigment.

 

[vpsaline]

that had to be the nicest paint scheme TLD ever came out with..

Do you think I still managed to improve upon it?

You definitely managed to improve on it! The stock TLD paintjob was good, but yours is great. I really like the way you and Hucked2bend slightly altered the stock paintjobs , but kept the original design. Both helmets look really good.

 

[Bicyclist]

vpsaline, that helmet looks awesome! I like the way you improved upon the stock design rather than creating a whole new one.

 

[vpsaline]

Thanks Alot Guys.

That's sick...is that a do-it-yourself job or did you hire a helping hand?

 

[ride_fast]

[biketiger]

I just finished this one. Turned out okay. Need more practice.

 

[biketiger]

Let's see some more lids. Keep it going.

TLD, DylanDean, LukeD, Millar, General Lee...

My winter project I finished last month, a little more "free form"

 

[biketiger]

I likes it.

I know this post is useless until it's done, but Dylan Dean had my lid in for paint and should be done in a week or two...can't wait! I'll post pics if he doesn't.

You're right.

 

[hucked2bend]

I also altered a helmet like that one!

These are the only pic's I have though, check it!

And another, with a little punk rock flair. The flames, Ratfink & eyeball are by Doug Dorr, a great artist in the OC. The Ratfink is super detailed, almost looks like a decal!!

[dG video]

Got my helmet back from Luke! Totally stoked on this, it looks awesome! These pics do the basecaot no justice. Since its snowing out I'll have to get some more pics on a sunny day.

That is a great combo, it even matches our new 06 kit

Although, at the Otter we may be ghetto (jersey-less) I can hear them stiching fabric as I type this:mumble:

 

[bizutch]

Luc...something quirky about the symmetry on the helmet...intentional I assume?

cool...will he be sporting the mane flow out the back of the helmet like Eddie?

 

[sayndesyn]

Is there a general consensus on the best paint to use? Acrylic from House of Color? I saw a large selection of Createx auto detailing spray paint at my local art store, but I haven't heard much about them...

i use a mix and match of a bunch of different things...but i can't say anything bad about urethanes..much better than createx

 

[JohnnyBoyDH]

Well, she's finally done! Just gotta whore it up with a few stickers and we are good. Super happy as usual with Brent @ Hijinx Custom Creations (plug plug plug) work. Should match up with the teams jerseys nicely. Lovin it.

that would be like sticking a George Bush sticker on the bumper of a Lotus...don't!

HAHAHAHA. Won't be too bad, just a couple of well placed ones.

 

[Fury]

Who did that one for you Johnny?

 

[JohnnyBoyDH]

Brent Vandenbroek @ Hijinx Custom Creations...Local dude.

 

[jonKranked]

not a perfect job (there's a few drips on the trim around the neck hole and face hole). But it still looks great and MUCH better than it used to. best of all, it was effing free! :love:
