Depends on how fancy you want to get. The Censport webpage spells out pricing and options and my experience was a great one in dealing with Tyler.

^ that looks really nice! i like the colors and subtle fades. troy lee, as far as i have seen has poor quality as far as finish and quality goes. they don't take the trim off before they paint and it shows, and they are damn expensive.

ty

btw i am the one who painted rick's helmet.

None of it is tape, if I recall correctly? The only thing I had him do was put on the Arai sticker and clear coat over it in the front. I've had them do a few helmets for me over the years and love their work.

LAPS INC: That is a sharp-*** helmet!

tylere36m3: I can only speak from my experiences, but, 'none' of my helmets from Troy Lee have ever faded or been poor quality. And I still have helmets in excellent shape from 12 + years ago too.

All paint, no tape. Crest is hand painted as well

i guess that is what you get when you have a large company and are no longer in control of quality. they have many artists and i am sure some produce better quality than others. i was not trying to bag on your helmet b/c troy lee did it. yours looks great, but i have personally seen some of their stuff and heard from some of my clients that have had troy lee stuff in the past, and well i am just surprised that a huge name like troy lee can sometimes produce horrible finishes. they always have cool designs though.
