Hi man , How are you...Longtime no video !! I hope all ok with you. Start to paint bycicles and helmets for road bikes !! I hope we will see you soon all the best dude.
Hi, Nice design work...I really enjoy how you work on your way i love to see the real work in the Helmet same step by step how you mask and how u mix primer and base coat and color and clear coat Also about the timing between colors and differences between color automotive and airbrush colors and how you mix them
Oh Master ! Awesome as always. Please, can you tell us (maybe you just forgot it) where can we find fonts when we need more options besides the default? Thank you Sensei.
Thank you for the great comment. I suggest you check Episode 3 of this year's vlog. I get into all the details about what tools I use including paint guns! Cheers.
Hi Patrice how do you achieve good adhesion between basecoat layers. While laying out the design after a solid colour and between taping out etc. many thanks for the great content.
Hi Sean, thank you for your comment. Every paint manufacturer has a download page (or you can ask your dealer) where you can find TDS (Technical Data Sheet). This document explains everything you need to know about the paint you are about to use. Every paint has different characteristics (drying time, flash time, temperature for drying, etc...). Basecoat should adhere chemicaly to the previous base if it is sprayed in the proscribed period of time suggested by the manufacturer. The "open window" to spray over a paint is normally 24-48 hours. Pass that time, you need some adhesion promoter or us an "intercoat clear" like House Of Kolor's SG-100. I hope that will help you. Cheers.
@Smart Race Paint Patrice Can you tell me why you have to do some of the designing in illustrator and then some in PS why cant you do it all in one or the other as to have them both makes it quiet expensive per month if you don't do it for a living? Cheers Scott
CONGRATULATIONS FOR THE VIDEO. FOLLOW YOUR CHANNEL. YOUR WORKS ARE FANTASTIC! THANKS FOR THE TIPS, I WORK WITH PAINTING (ORIGINAL PATTERN RESTORATION) AND I AM WANTING TO PERSONALIZE HELMETS. YOUR CHANNEL IS HELPING ME A LOT! THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR SHARING YOUR KNOWLEDGE !!!
Great tutorial. You may already know this tip but - when working with the type and adding the stroke... You can open the stroke window and change the options for how the corners render... Especially when trying to mimic neon (which doesn't have any corners,) you can select the middle option and it adds a very small radius to the corners. I don't have a Roland cutter, so corners can become a problem area for me and this helps dramatically,
This is truly so helpful for a guy wanting to get into helmet painting. Did you get all of your knowledge of photoshop by just going through trying everything? Currently using pencil and paper and coloring in with colored pencils but wanting to start doing it like this. Thanks!
So glad I could help. I learned everything by myself. It takes time and efforts. These days, with online learning and UA-cam, at least you have references. When I started I had a book 🤣🤣 Good luck.
@@helmetgurucanadahello, Love your UA-cam content and your way of explaining things. If and when you make more videos, could you talk about how you got your name out there, and built your clientel. Thanks!
@@dustinrose8807 When I started there was no internet. I had to paint friend's helmets, friends of friends helmets, go to races and show myself. I attended dozens of karting races. I was quite lucky that there was no established painters in my area. When I got my first website and people had a way of reaching out, things got better. It took me a good 5-6 years. All this time I was working in a motorcycle painting shop, learning as much as I could. I hope this can help you.
Thanks for taking the time to make this vid Patrice - very interesting to see your design process. I like the extra step in using Photoshop for the finer details, something I don't usually do as I normally do renders 100% in Illustrator (got some timelapses on my channel if anyone's interested).
great vid as always Patrice.. the comment at the end is great too.. sometimes clients will want details that are so small or ornate that you just can cut the masks or prep that.. also the understanding of moving from 2D to 3D and what that means is really important... thx for sharing.
Brilliant video as normal Patrice. Things like this and the start process is definitely helping me more getting into helmet painting. Thank you and keep them coming.
Great Video as usual Patrice, Interesting to see you work through both illustrator and photoshop. I appreciate what you said in the last few minutes of the video, being someone who wraps racecars and helmets (sorry one day ill paint) I can understand you 100% with these "designers" who really don't design to suit a helmet/car.
Really enjoyed watching the creative process. Am not a helmet painter - just enjoy looking at custom painted helmets - they are truly works of art!
You don't have to be a helmet painter to be inspired. Thank you for watching. Cheers.
Hi man , How are you...Longtime no video !! I hope all ok with you. Start to paint bycicles and helmets for road bikes !! I hope we will see you soon all the best dude.
I love your videos, I have watched every one of them! Can you please change your channel settings so I can turn on notifications for your channel?
Hmmm! Let me look into it. Cheers.
@@helmetgurucanada Thank you!
ugh, I feel selfish saying this but I wish there were way more videos. Ive watched all of these at least 20-30 times hahaha. Hope all is well!
Hi Patrice, are you still painting helmets? Looked to reach out on your website but it no longer exists.

Really glad you appreciate the complexity of custom paint. Thank you for watching. Cheers.
Bonjour, smart race paint. Cela fait un bout temps, j'espère que tu te portes bien a très vite pour une nouvelle vidéo bien sûr meilleur vœux.
Oh Master ! Awesome as always.
Please, can you tell us (maybe you just forgot it) where can we find fonts when we need more options besides the default?
Thank you Sensei.
Good question: my main sources are Adobe fonts and www.dafont.com
Hey Patrice! love your work. what spray gun would you recommend for spraying base and clear? which one do you use?
Thank you for the great comment. I suggest you check Episode 3 of this year's vlog. I get into all the details about what tools I use including paint guns! Cheers.

Thank you for your message. I think I achieve better control on the details of the design (airbrush effects) through Photoshop.
Could you make a video as far as the process of lining out the helmet? As in taking the design on the computer to the helmet itself.
I have covered that topic in a previous video. Check some of my first "tutorial" video from 2 years ago. Cheers.
CONGRATULATIONS FOR THE VIDEO.
