i painted my helmet wiht a tribal design it looks sick. just put masking tape over ur helmet then cut out your design. and if u have access to an airbruch and someone who is good with one ur will have a great helmet

Any company like Troy Lee Designs, Axcel graphics, or other companies that paint Motocross helmets will prob do it. Look in the back of Moto mags like Racer X or Motocross Action, Theres plenty of places that will do it

^werd...those guys can throw down the custom paint, it would probably cost more than your helmet though, but if you have the cash go for it.

check out the helmet i did, original Public Enemy theme.

All you have to do is make sure you use the appropriate paints. All the Details were airbrushed.

may i ask you, how many have u seen?

cause i've seen only 1 helmet painted... shagboy's. the rest were redbull, which, in my opinion is not a custom design, since it doesnt represent the rider atall. its just an advertising for a company...

i was actually thinking about that alot myself too...

since the helmet is large(like a big sphere, not like a hat) i think big stripes will actually look pretty bad. prolly the best thing will be to color the whole helmet white and then make a thin stripe(like 5cm) go around with all 3 colours without a transition inbetween. OR make a bunch of stripes just cross each other under random angles, u kno.

as for my helmet... gonna be a major update on my website in like a week or 2... so be patient
