The middle one and the left one are now ready for clear coating. Belive it or not they have both been flaked! Left one is a new flake product, that takes on the colour underneath (first time used). The middle one has a heep large coating of VooDoo dust (mirror flake).
The one on the right, I am slowly sorting out the pinstriping! That will also be flaked!

The colours on these are a lot more saturated in the flesh, they look washed out on the website.

These will be up for sale real soon.... PM me if you are interested.

Jeez it is cold out there.... Two of the helmets are now cleared. I will give them another couple of coats next week, for a deeper custom finish. They REALLY pop in the sun, especially the candy apple one!

The traditional. "black n flamed" one needs more work.

Anyone want stuff flaked? I am back in my comfort zone now with these!

If only I had a large garage! That A100 of mine would be TOTALLY different!

Haha! That has hushed the thread a bit!

What you have to remember is the helmet costs me 149.99 plus shipping.

That is before stripping, prepping, painting, clearcoating, polishing and re-assembly. Plus the cost of all the paint.

Probably 2 days work in the question mark helmet!

No way am I giving them away!
