I have to share with you guys.

 

A couple weeks ago,via Facebook (friend of a friend of a friend etc etc), I came across someone doing vinyl wrapping ( like they do on cars) on a helmet.

After a couple messages back and forth, we met up last week, handed over my goods and this is the result:-

I'm also busy with a SS build and a while ago I bought a Momsen rigid fork off a hubber, nothing wrong with it, a teeny tiny scuff mark or two, but the colour wouldn't really suit the theme I'm going for ... so did this:-

I only did the front white part in the black vinyl because the back of the fork is has a beautiful raw carbon look.

I contemplated doing the black chequered bit in green as well, but opted for the simpler look.

Nice job. Cool change. I've always thought white appliances belong in the kitchen. I have a painted carbon fork that needs doing in order to match the next project.

Am i mistaken or did something reacted with the foam of the helmet. Almost like it eaten into it. I know this is what happens when you use normal spraypaint on foam.
