Default Custom helmets - where from?

Does anyone know of any places to get custom helmet art?

I am wanting just a "black and grey" image that I painted of one of my ferrets on my helmet.

it's just an unusual first post is all...

have you tried the airbrush places near where you live?

just walk in and ask if they'll paint a ferret on your helmet

Not a first post.
Just first post in a place that counts!

I thought that it had to be a certain paint on helmets?

Depends what helmet, airbrushing and custom graphics on helmets is pretty common. If it is a glassfibre or carbon shell (epoxy resin/gelcoat type thing) it is pretty easy to paint. If it is a polycarbonate shell, more complex. AFAIK.

Ask the people who paint helmets. Personally I think it is bit daft, just adds more cost when you crash, as if it isn't expensive enough already!

Do post up a picture if you get it done. I'd LOVE to see a crash helmet with a ferret painted on it.

Good luck.

i looked at this awhile back loads of place if you just search on google, but most are quite expensive around £300+ just for a basic design.

Personally, having worn a matt black lid for two years, and not being well-noticed on the road, I'd suggest something brighter, such as a budgie, although if you don't own a budgie, hold them in the same regard as a ferret or haven't painted one, then that would no doubt be the deal clincher.
