Aero GSA Posted July 8, 2011 Posted July 8, 2011 Got back into custom helmet painting after a few years off. These are our TLD D2 helmets that I painted. The blue / white helmet was a D2 Carbon to which I retained the carbon on the dark areas of the helmet.Turn around time is around 2 weeks for a full painted helmet. Everything is painted in (except for name and helmet logos) and covered with thick layers of clear for a final finish that looks and feels like a lightbulb. Sorry for quality of pics - taken with BlackBerry. http://i629.photobucket.com/albums/uu13/lawrencehenning/DHLHHelmets.jpghttp://i629.photobucket.com/albums/uu13/lawrencehenning/LHHelmet.jpghttp://i629.photobucket.com/albums/uu13/lawrencehenning/DHHelmet.jpg

CAAD4 Posted July 8, 2011 Posted July 8, 2011 Love your work, but I have to agree, use a .Those BB photo's are not doing you any justice.

Nikolais Posted July 8, 2011 Posted July 8, 2011 Sweet looking paintjobs on those lids. Is the blue the same electric metallic blue that you used on the bikes???
DMC007 Posted July 8, 2011 Posted July 8, 2011 Pity you not in Cape Town, I would like to get my Bell Sweep® customized.
Aero GSA Posted July 11, 2011 Author Posted July 11, 2011 Pappa Bear - I can paint any helmet. My D2 was a carbon and wanted to retain some of the carbon look. DMC007 - You can send your helmet to me to paint. I have received helmets from Germany to paint and sent them back with no hassles.
Guest Posted July 11, 2011 Posted July 11, 2011 Lorenzo on the design, is this is the same Lorenzo from Durban who knows Monique?
CAAD4 Posted July 11, 2011 Posted July 11, 2011 And the warrantee expires as soon as they are painted. Do you actually get a warranty with a DH helmet, as everyone knows they are not being used to ride to Church on Sunday?
AndreZA Posted July 11, 2011 Posted July 11, 2011 Do you actually get a warranty with a DH helmet, as everyone knows they are not being used to ride to Church on Sunday? Well, if a visor rivet falls off or original paint flakes then it will not be covered. Don't these helmet also carry the 3 year replacement guarantees?
DMC007 Posted July 12, 2011 Posted July 12, 2011 DMC007 - You can send your helmet to me to paint. I have received helmets from Germany to paint and sent them back with no hassles. Great. Will PM you with contact details.Keen to know cost aswell.
