airbrush helmet

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.

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.
