Why not replace it with a nice Bandit style one.



I can get these in either glass or Carbon! Obviously the carbon ones are dearer, but you all heard about the $50 helmet.

If you are interested, let me know the design and colour/colours you want painted on, I will give you a quote, the more complex, the more expensive.

Jeff,

I have got the original Simpson Bandit. What's the rough cost of getting it sprayed up (I appreciate that cannot be finalised until a design is chosen)

Ball park???

Hey Clive, a "ball park" cost would be:

Cost of paint + Labour at £30 (£25 to MMA members) per hour + Cost of Clear coat.

For example:
A full face helmet - £150 to £500
Motorbike (Tank, front and rear fenders) - £500 to £1500

These prices are a guide only, as cost would depend on the complexity of the design, whether special effect paints (Candy Flip, Sparklescent, etc) are used etc!

If you’ve ever had artwork produced for you before by a reputable artist or tattooist, you will appreciate that this is a competitive rate.

Also, remember that quality work will take time, so even though your finished ‘masterpiece’ may only take seven or eight hours to produce, that will be spread over at least two weeks, as paints, and especially clearcoats take time to cure (harden). Even after return to you, it is still recommended that all work is handled with care for at least a month.

It is a bit vague, as each job is different. Also depends on the state of the helmet. I would NOT be able to repair any of it with filler! That is a big No No!

Hey, got the first order in today, once I have finished the HM guitar, and the little demon nose art panel..... Watch out for it!

100% MOPAR on this one.

I might even order me one of the carbon ones, they are well cool, and VERY lightweight!

I'll be checking the status of the Piggy Bank after Crimbo.


Better check the condition of my helmet (fnarr fnarr) too!.

Get it painted to match your car Clive. White with a similar red stripe or band.

Clivey, you don't need a helmet for show and shine

Would look classy mate!

I could say something very rude about the subject of this thread but I won't!

Hi guys,

Just a quickie...... I may have to do more of this to help my income soon, As the advertising work is pretty crap at the moment.

So please, do not expect to get something for nothing. This paint is expensive, and it is VERY time consuming.

I am sure you understand.

Jeff I would love you to do a custom paint job on my lid. But just cant afford it just yet. It's got a bit of road rash.
