    Holy S**t! That's some nice work. Airbrush? You should talk her into going into business doing that. There's a serious lack of custom helmet painters up in this area and I know that she could probably make a killing doing that.

    No kidding, her work is great, do you know what kind of paints she is using? Was your lid a flat black or did she have to scuff it to paint it???

    actually its a guy and no its not airbrush its all by hand. ive wanted to get a helmet with jack on it and this was the perfect way to get it. as for the paints im not sure. i scuffed the helmet for him and primed it. and were doing this one as a test. i told him when done id take it to bike nights and those types of things to try to get him more business.

    Jack Skellington, awesome! Very nice work, I look forward to seeing it completed!

    Are you going to have the whole thing cleared when the paint is done? Hell, have that guy do your whole bike man! Forget that house of kolor green...

    Wow, verrry nice. Wet sanded and cleared it will be one of the nicest customs I've seen.

    Price? Who's going to clearcoat it? Does he have any experience with clear coat? Might want to check on this first!
    Looks great, BTW.
