MOTORCYCLE AND RACE HELMET PAINTING

Settle for nothing less than original helmet paint design when looking to have your motorcycle or race helmet custom painted. After all that's why you are having your helmet custom painted in the first place. You will be dealing with just one person if you select me to custom paint your helmet, I do all the work from prep, artwork and clear coating.

<-----To the left you can see a helmet index linking you to different helmet category's where you can view helmets I've done.

The process of coming up with an original helmet paint design is accomplished by working closely with my customers listening to what their ideas are and than translating those ideas with paint to their helmet design. I request customers send me as many reference pictures as possible with their helmet. These can be actual photo's or pictures of other helmets they like. It's than my job to take into consideration all that information and come up with a unique helmet paint design for that customer.

Attention to detail is my trade mark; my helmet paint designs are unique.

a mock up of the helmet design Panos wanted on his helmet. Below you can see the helmet I custom painted for him from the mock up he sent me.

"Don, I received it today and it looks great. The cross has very nice bevels and the highlights/shadows on the flags, especially on the american side, give it a feeling of a 3-dimensional texture. When I get additional inspiration and allowance you will get my next project. Thanks Panos"

Commonly asked questions and answers.

FAQ - Do you sell helmets?
Answer - No I don't sorry, you purchase a helmet and send it to me.

FAQ - What color helmet works best and should the helmet be solid color or can it have factory graphics on it.
Answer - Any solid color helmet is fine generally we will be changing the base color anyway. I can paint a helmet that already has graphics on it but it makes it more expensive for you as it requires more work, it's best to buy a plain solid color helmet. Pay attention to where the vents are when purchasing as helmet and try and envision if they would interfer with the design you have in mind. The more vents I have to deal with the more expensive it becomes for you as they require more work.

FAQ - I had another custom painter do my helmet but I really don't like what was done can you fix it for me?
Answer - No sorry I only work on new or in like new condition helmets.

FAQ - My helmet has a scratch, dent, nick in it can you repair it for me?
Answer - If that helmet is in that condition for your own safety you should purchase a new helmet, I do not repair helmets I custom paint them.

FAQ - How do we come up with the final design for my helmet? Will you copy another custom painter's helmet design I like?
Answer- If you are thinking about having your helmet custom painted I would think in part it's so you're helmet design will be unique so why settle for coping someone else's helmet design. If you send me four or five examples of helmets you like I can generally come up with a unique design you can call all your own. We can work together via e-mails to come up with a final design you will be happy with.

FAQ - How long does it usually take to have a helmet custom painted?
Answer - After I have received the helmet and the final design is worked out two weeks in most cases.

FAQ - Will you clear coat the helmet?
Answer - Yes I use only the best custom paints and clear coats on the market and that would be House of Kolor. The art work, graphics will be buried within the clear so when you touch the helmet you will not feel the edge's; your helmet will be returned to you with a glass like shiny finish.

FAQ - How much does it cost to have a helmet custom painted?
Answer - Cost depends on the brand helmet you send me and the amount of detail in the final design. Basic graphic's start at about $400.00 and goes up depending on the amount of detail. You can call me 1-352-622-1796 with your basic project needs and I can give you a ballpark price fairly quickly.
