Painting helmets

Just painted a few ski helmets. I’ve done bike helmets and whole bikes before so I was pretty surprised at how much easier ski helmets are. Made one almost fatal mistake on the first one(plastic safe paint stripper will melt your helmet oops) but they turned pretty good all things considered.

Oh snap, those are fantastic! Love the black gold flake one. Super sick how you made the Oakley O with empty space.

Thanks I used the plastic wrap method to apply paint on both. The Oakley logo was just a paper cutout I tacked on before hand.

Hopefully pretty good I used an automotive clear coat with a hardener then ceramic coated it after as well. Did the same thing on my mountain bike and it’s held up quite nicely

have YOU been in the x games tho? no thats what I thought
why don't you get better at skiing instead of flexing about where your custom helmets have been and maybe you'd be in the xgames rather than your helmets
