Custom Helmet Painting an Amateur's Guide 

That was awesome man! The shadows you painted on the lines make them really pop!

@dave cool project bro keep it coming next up Dave doing world tour on custom spray mods for cars , rims and helmets

Ow wauw!!!! I really love this! At some point i’m gonna do that to my helmet aswel 😗 this awesome!!

Functional art. Love it!

Turned out pretty cool. Couple tips from my custom painting times, take a look at a contraption called flakebuster. You'll reduce the 2h flake spraying with the constant shaking and clogging to ONE MINUTE, and I'm not exaggerating, one minute you got your flake in there, with virtually zero flake wastage. And to avoid paint creep under your lines, when you got your design put some intercoat clear in your airbrush or a minigun and chase the tape lines,this way you'll seal any gaps if there's one and if some creeps under it'll be transparent and invisible, avoids those lovely moments you're untaping to find black overspray all over your supposedly silver or candy graphics..Another thing that could take your work a step further is a couple stencils, you have a plotter already for stickers, cut a few effects stencils to lightly spray over your candies or pearls, only takes a few minutes and looks so much more work was done in the end,an expat effect over that purple fading away would look sick

Looks great. Been thinking of doing mine for a long time. I roadrace also, so go through some plastic bodywork now and then, that also needs paint. Have been using cans for that

Click smack, fist clap. Excellent vids minus that ear damaging nonsense 😂

I love all your works mate. I would to have my car painted by you but I'm broke atm cheers from blacktown

Looks good, just masking of the ratings helmet stickers...

It looks amazing. I wonder, is there any noticeable difference in weight, with so many layers of paint?

I love the designs you put on helmets. Looks amazing once again! Thanks Dave.

There must be so many hours that go in to making a design like this perfect. How many hours do you think you have into that lid?

Tempting to do race lid. Guess it being expensive and FIA rated sort of put me off.

Bad idea using the interoat for your flake it’s better to mix it into clear then spray 3 or 4 coats of clear over ya flake n clear so much easier to sand man when you use intercoat it’s rougher

Awesome result! Wonder how a satin clear would be on a helmet...

Bro do you have any shops in Melbourne, can I come and work for you?

Do you keep your painting room at a specific temp, or any other way in your process to speed up drying times between steps?

Bro as always thank you for the tips and Bro gym is paying off 💪🏽

what's your mask set up when you are spraying clear?

Dam spying apps , i was just wondering this like 2 hours ago haha

Awesome job looks amazing 👍

Hi, It looks super good work man

Little retro look about it I reckon. Killer job. Have you done much airbrushing using Concept? I’m keen to pick my first airbrush setup soon and I have a few NoMix colours to play around with but don’t know if I’ll run into any issues

Good great, well done!!!

Great job on the helmet

Nice hamlet 😂❤

Great job!

Cool 😎

Goooooood man

Nicely done Dave!

Great design and explanations, thanks for sharing!

Looks great but i think it should be mentioned that most helmets are not supposed to be painted. The paint thinner can weaken some kinds of outer shells and sanding it first will certainly also do that. To be hones i'm not sure which types of shells are most fragile when it comes to this but just be careful and ask the manufacturer if it's ok to do to your helmet or you could ha a helmet that not doing what it's supposed to do as well as before. Some manufacturers say you shouldn't even put a sticker on it.
