I have recently bought some of the retro SE BMX race kit to go with my retro Quadangle.
Have the SE Racing Jersey and Gloves, so decided that my black and grey No Fear Optimal MX helmet doesn't go with the kit. SO, I had it sprayed in SE Racing colours. I was going to have the helmet done in the original design and colours, but decided to be a bit more modern with the colour scheme instead.
What do you think?

Give me a call and bring them over mate, or I can pop to yours and finally teach you how to do it ;) . After seeing your excellent plastering work then we may be able to come to some kind of arrangement as I will need some plastering done soon.
-

I used Plastikote colours for this, the colours used were a white primer, white basecoat, Light Blue Gloss, Chocolate Brown Gloss and Ice Cream Matt.
-
Stunning work big man
I really like that a lot :daumenhoch:
plasticote you say
what did you use to mask it ? just plain tape ? or something with less bleed
I may have to get the old lid out fill and spray that fooker

Thanks for the compliments guys. I really enjoyed doing the helmet also, although really scary when you start sanding down a perfectly good brand new MX helmet.
Plastikote paints are stocked at all B&Q's, you can also use car paint spray.
With the masking I used 3M masking tape and also car pinstriping tape as it has zero bleed when applied correctly, although you have to reduce the overall tack of it as it is way too sticky otherwise.
If anyone is interested I can post up the full instructions on how to paint your own helmet (ooerr ;) )

If anyone is interested I am only too pleased to give your helmet a good rub and leave it with a shiny coat (ooerr ;) )
Not to sure about your final comment Sean :police: :LolLolLolLol:

Great ! Bit of S&M thrown in then :LolLolLolLol:
-
well done stidds thats quality fella your a clever fooker aint ya son ;)
-
that looks good mate :coolsmiley:
-
that's a dam fine looking helmet you have there :shocked:
-
Do some research before any of you go painting old polycarbonate lids if you intend to wear em...... the two don't neccessarily mix ;)
Modern fibreglass and carbon/kevlar/composite lids are fine usually though :)
-
Good effort :daumenhoch: Like the look of that a lot.
Out team jerseys this season are brown, so a lid that colour would set it off nicely.
-
That looks wick mate, well done, great job.
Just waiting to get mine back from the painters.....tossers taking ages to laquer it after graphics...mettalic gold and brown......

That's looking ace Clive, was wondering how yours was coming along.
I like the metallic twist on the original colour scheme. Nice. That layout really suits the Moto 3 helmet, I was going to do the same style but figured that it may not suit a modern helmet.
-
that's nice work Stidds :4_17_5: :4_17_5: :4_17_5:
I want one!.. No, I want two.... Make that three.............
