Airbrushing, custom painting motorcycle
helmets has been my main focus for my art work for over ten years now. Although
I still airbrush illustrations, motorcycles, guitars and the occasional monster
truck custom painting motorcycle helmets I still find most challenging and
rewarding. As the publisher of
Airbrush Technique
Magazine and Airbrush
Artist Magazine two of the best airbrush, custom painting instructional
magazines published; I keep up on the latest techniques and use only the best
paint available, House of Kolor. If you have a vision of a custom painted
motorcycle helmet you would like to have made a reality please call
1-352-622-1796 during normal business hours I would be happy to discuss your
project with you. Below are some FAQ's and answers I hope you find helpful in
educating yourself about having a motorcycle helmet custom painted.
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 really as generally we will be changing the base
color anyway. I can not paint a helmet that already has graphics on it sorry,
it's best to buy a plain solid color helmet. It's best to purchase a helmet
with as few vents as possible as many times vents become a problem with design
layout. Please avoid the style of helmet where the entire front of the helmet
flips up; I will not work on those sorry.
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 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 is 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.
