Helmet painting

[baker]

There is a young man near my house that is starting to paint helmets. I always wanted custom helmet but couldn't afford $800. Now I can get one for less than half. His email is mxmatt157@verizon.net Here are some examples and the green/black helmet is for sale $350 it is Medium

No more custom painted helmets for me. I had a beautiful Arai VX-Pro that I had custome painted. I gave the artist liberty to do as he pleased and was impressed. I crashed landing head-first in the rocks. Expensive helmet with expensive pait job now worthless.

Nope, it's an expensive trophy for your garage/workshop.

Looks very cool, until you hit the single track and tree limbs start wacking the ole brain bucket.

I once had a custom painted helmet that matched my bike, had my name, looked ultra cool. I won a championship wearing that helmet, then felt extremely vulnerable, and a little indulgent with a number one on my plate. I promptly bought a plain white Arai VX Pro. Good helmet, not heat absorbing, far more humble in appearance (never mind the giant ego underneath.........I hope I'm recovering from that, Lord knows I've been humiliated enough).

Got hung up on storyboarding.

Those are beautiful paint jobs. Do you know if he'll paintmy helmet if I send it to him? I'll need a Team USA paint Job next year. Pretty simple design, just blue with white skunk stripes. The skunk stripes are not that easy to get right believe it or not.
