Yeah, I was just wondering if you guys know any helmet companies that will sell you an all white lid. Moto or even something like the Mad Max.
What helmet companies will sell u all white?
- Thread starter Jeremy R
- Start date
If you go to your local MX shop you will find a few moto lids in all white.
You planning on doing some custom painting?

Yeah, I need to get a visor made out of the "black box" material.DRB said:
Bell used to do the Bellistic in a plain white, they have funked things up a bit lately though. I guess you may be able to find a store with one of them still in stock, for example here http://www.chainreactioncycles.com/Models.aspx?ModelID=7018
No doubt you could find one closer to home though.

Dylan probably knows. and boy, didn't take you long to spring this question online. incidentally, I've already emailed Troy Lee to see if they will sell one that way. The little receptionist said "no"....but I got a call into the painters too.
you looking at getting a custom paint job Jeremy? 
Yeah, and believe me, the irony is not escaping me. I think I just posted really recently about the custom paint thing not being for me, because I can't take care of my helmet. But now I can get it painted so cheap, if I can just find a cheap white helmet.Acadian said:you looking at getting a custom paint job Jeremy?
I think you wore a cheap white helmet all season Pokemon monster!
Fly has all white.
bwahhaha.... nice.bizutch said:
I must again point out that you wore a Bell peanut shell spray painted faux chrome for 5 years straight, which offered you about as much protection as a perforated condom.bizutch said:

most companies have gone to producing all their helmets w/ a graphix kit already on. sucks for us painters, but we get by.
if you've got a connection, or can get them direct form the MFG, you might be able to score an "all white" or "primered" helmet from the company. these are helmets either set specifically for rider paintjobs, or haven't gone to production. ...or even possibly last years model. who knows
(Not sure if it was you who recently emailed me), but i realize that you're probalby looking for a white lid, since your painter said that it's cheaper for prep (helmets w/ graphix kits are usually charged extra). However, they might let you slide on helmets that are SOLID COLORS (other than white). like an all black helmet, etc... For me, it really depends on the color too...somethimes i've gotten bell bellistic helmets in the past that have been solid black. should be simple...but whatever they used to paint the helmets back was total ****...gunked up my sander/sandpaper & took doube the time to prep - so i charged my clent the extra fee. but most solid colors are no problem. talk to your painter...see what they can do for you.
yep, it was me. how many guys you know named Butch asking about plain white helmets?
Incidentally, the STP helmet with the pearl flames and metal flake is by far my favorite!!!!

good point
thanks, wish i had a better pick of it. the flames are actually a blue-tinge pearl. very sick. kinda looks almost beige compared to the white background...but in the right sunlight...damn that thing blings!
yeah, I sent that pic to my teammate and he said "Ummmm, something like that's gonna cost you alot more!"Dylan said:good point
