There a man in toomebridge he use to do it 028 79651050 ask 4 gary
why paint it when you can sticker it try auto sign graphics they are the people that do mcgarritys cars and they also done my helmet and made a good job of it:P
his number is 02890, 610282:laugh:
Careful with the stickers, as some of their adhesive can damage the helmet and reduce its effectiveness. They are fine on the peak but not on the main shell
Get a professional painter with the correct airbrush kit. More expensive than stickers but how valuable is your head? (some more valuable than others !)
I tested a helmet against a concrete pylon at over 115mph (the door post did not absorb much energy)…and am glad it was effective. Would hate to think what the consequences would be with a bad / cracked / brittle shelled helmet.
Spend the money and keep safe
