Default Got my helmet painted...Wow!

Just got my helmet back from Tyler at Censport Graphics. I'm blown away by the quality of his work. These pictures don't really do it justice. I asked for linear style graphics, a base coat of silver or grey and colors to pick up the colors of the marque. His design was spot on, he sent update photos during the process and the finished result is amazing. He hand painted the Porsche crest using gold leaf paint! Enjoy the photos. He's a very talented young man.

Prices vary according to options which are all worked out up front and are outlined on the Censport website. Tyler really nailed the intial designs, made suggestions as he went and sent photos along the way. Start to finish was about 6 weeks.

Good for two seconds a lap. You have to be fast when you wear one of these!

Wow... Stunning. The sides come across as 3D in a picture - I can only image how it looks in person.

Sharp looking design, I hope it lowers some of yours laps times. Enjoy it!

Saw this over on the bimmer forums.

the pinstripe on the outside of the crest is supposed to be real 24K gold

an AMAZING helmet for sure.

That is one of the nicer helmet designs that I've seen. I like how the red encompasses the front of the helmet and sweeps back.

Cool looking helmet, I especially like the crest, very nice!

RolexNJ, how much of that helmet is paint & how much (if any) is tape? Just curious since I really like Troy Lee.
