Oh yeah - he used to ride (/work) at Blue didn't he?
Custom Paint Helmet Thread!!
- Thread starter bizutch
- Start date
Never worked there, but rode there a couple of times last season. He did some custom team bikes for Kona a while ago and just moved back from BC a bit ago too. Setting up shop again in Ontario to paint anything you can throw at him. He did my old helmet as well.Fury said:
is that the THE or OGK MTB specific helmet? Isf so...impressions? Got any before photos?
He did a damn nice job on your helmet.JohnnyBoyDH said:
It's the OGK. This is the original colour. Have another one for back up. I really like it so far. super comfy, good goggle fit and CoolMax liner. Have not tried it DHing yet though. I just wanted something other/different than a TLD.
have you held it up side by side with the TLD yet to see if they're the same helmet with cosmetic diffs?
Quite possibly the snaziest helmet I've seen on here.

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.
do i see a wrx there? wrx or sti? thinkin of trading in my wrx this summer for an sti. either that or a motorcycle
where do you get these helmets? how do they compare in price to a troy lee?JohnnyBoyDH said:

Get a new R6, a third the price, twice the thrills ; )

Sick lid Johnny Boy. I see a lot of helmets with way too much going on. Yours is perfect and I'm not even a big fan of blue.
The old colors were horrible

haha funny u mention that...in terms of a bike it's a tossup between that and a cbr600 f4isayndesyn said:
Go Yami all the way. At least if you are talking about this years bikes. Or the GSXR.... Honda seems to be at the head of the pack for dirtbikes, but not so much for street.
The car looks like an STi...It is the painters, not mine.....I ironically have a Forester XT myself. Get the Sti over a bike. They haul booty and are great to drive year round if you get snow where you are.LukeD said:
Not yet will this wekend though.bizutch said:
I have a connection who got me these from Japan. They are a little cheaper than the TLD lids I believe (the OGK are full carbon) Don't think you can get the OGK ones in North America, but THE's new helmets are the same as these, just re-badged.julian_dh said:
I'm a simpleton, but the deepness of this beautiful red finish can only be appreciated in person.

Helmet #5. First "NEW" helmet I've painted.
A little SPAM, there is a guy here in eastern Canada that just started his company, and after seeing some of his painted helmets for real, let me just say that these are unreal, I mean whoa
the paint quality, the finish, etc.
Here is the address of his website

DING! That is a winner of a paint job!!! The blue one is creative too.
Okay those are sweet, un-fussy clean designs with style. I like a lot.
those r rad
and he copied Jeremiah's print graphic too...
They look way past cool, the blue with the guy canoeing i like - it's different.
and everything he's ever painted is completely original too, right?bizutch said:
nothing is ever original...every artist draws from another artist or gets inspiration from somewhere...you could argue that dylan dean ripped off troy lee who ripped off big daddy roth...and just keep going from there. the fact of the matter is everything is just a recreation from something else, whether it be another painter in the helmet business or elsewhere...hell someone painting a landscape...isn't that person copying what they see in front of them?General Lee said:
no offence to DDD, Troy Lee or Roth.
Here's Mohshee's first stab at painting a helmet.
It still needs to be clearcoated and the visor needs to be done. We just used her old Six Six One helmet and given the previous state of the helmet i think it came out pretty damn good, especially for a first try:

shewwwww....better luck next time bro. sorry to not be positive...but some time taping would have done that thing wonders. Or you can take some thin pinstriping and outline the design to cover those wobbly edges and make a transition color from the smurf blue to pepto pinkTBFKAHG said:Here's Mohshee's first stab at painting a helmet.
