... keeping busy out in Angola

Fee needs a new helmet and has some idea's for what she'd like. Has anyone had a design airbrushed on to a helmet before?

I think we'd just go for a plain white OMP/Bell full face hemlet as a start... seen a few companies on the net so far.

http://www.jlfdesigns.com/ - did hamiltons so prob pricey!



AND a template if you're bored and fancy designing your own

or just PS these! I think she wants pink with a St Andrews cross somewhere

Go for the Bell one, feels much better made than the OMP one.

A mate of mine wanted a robin painted onto the back of his, along with a union jack airbrushed onto the top - he got quoted £400

Stickers can make the plastic brittle (or soft, can't remember which) which can cause issues with its use in motorsport IIRC.

That's somethig I've been told by a karting and Formula Renault mate anyway

Applying stickers to a surface which isnt flat is always hard.

yes.... but..... it'll still work out costly. Design, printing onto vinyl, laminating, 'fitting'
