My new helmet!
I needed a new helmet (it was getting kind of gross) so I asked my friends Mark and Terry at MSI in Sacramento where I could get a new one painted up to look cool (and get a little marketing)! I sent some logo's, and they had a friend that paints alot of bike helmets and is a tattoo artist. He sent back a pencil sketch, and I had some minor changes, then wow, this shows up!

Great looking helmet !! - be sure to get a decent carry case for it to keep the art work from getting torn up and scratched. Do you use a HANS or other head restraint ? I don't see the attachment points on the helmet - should have installed them before the art work. It would be a shame to have to drill it at this point.

Yes, well from the pencil concept sketch to this was a bit of a stretch. I was totally surprised, shocked, and basically blown away. I really like it though, I have to admit. Certainly, it will be hard to miss.

If anyone else would like a custom painted helmet, just let me know.
We only paint new helmets and if you are planning on using a HANS I will drill the helmet prior to going to paint.
We offer Bell, Pyrotech and Zamp Helmets.
This helmet paint job will go for about $600. Less involved artwork will be a bit less.
We are also a Motorola dealer and can install the helmet kit prior to paint as well.
