Was going out of my mind, with nothing to do, so I got my dads airbrush and an old helmet. I was just playing with some designs and thought I would share. The helmet was in pretty crappy shape, but I made the best of it. Let me know what you think, dont mind the ****y cell phone pics.

Looks great. I take it you have had some practice with the airbrush?

Thanks, Nick

Looks great. I take it you have had some practice with the airbrush?

This was my first week with an airbrush. I do artwork and I also like to paint, my dad had an airbrush laying around and it looked like fun. I am just messing with water base right now, so I can paint in my room without the fumes. Also, with the waterbase I can wipe it off and do something completely different on the same helmet. I plan on buying a new helmet for racing this year and I want to do my own design.

it is nice but i would maybe do something on the "forehead" area. i see there is another shade of red and it might be more evident in person, if not though i would throw something cool up there

Yes it is more noticable in person, there are flames in the front. Here are some pics.

The helmet kind of reminds me of a cross between Speed Racer & Hot Rod.

I'll try something, see what happens. Then I'm gonna strip it down and try something completely different.

What do you have? I have 6 more weeks of this!

Why what did you have in mind, do you want it repainted black, or do you want a design on it?
