    Not only are you a wizard with the spanners, your art work is top notch. That helmet is absolutely stunning. You should start doing it again permanently as a side line to the cars. Bit more revenue for the builds. Shoei and Arai will be contacting you to do their helmets soon.

  • @brucebear1
    @brucebear1 3 місяці тому

    Great work, Jeff. Just a couple of quick, basic questions, please. I want to paint a "raw black" Bell Star Carbon helmet (hate the nasty black) into white with some basic stripes.
    First, does it compromise the safety of a Bell Star carbon shell to paint it?
    If it's OK to paint, would you use a primer when after sanding down? You mentioned "auto paint" - would that be enamel or lacquer? Is there a preferred final clear coat?
    Finally, when you're doing a layout with masking, how do you find and divide a center point at the rear, and how do you assure that that point is extended perfectly perpendicularly upward? I think if I can set this correct rear line, I can assure a symmetrical layout on both sides and around and my stripes will be aligned and even.
    Many thanks, Bb North Carolina USA

    Jeff, I do a lot of painting on canvases and my brother has asked me to paint his helmet. It is currently white and ugly. do you recommend an acrylic, enamel or another type of paint. I’d intended on using lacquer because of its hardness but it has been recommended to me not to use it.

    • @HomeBuiltByJeff
      @HomeBuiltByJeff  Рік тому

      I have only used automotive paints. You definitely need to check to see if your painting that helmet with those paints damages the integrity of the helmet. If it is not done correctly it can void the helmet as far as any authorities go.

  • @britbazza3568
    @britbazza3568 3 роки тому

    Be aware that by painting a crash helmet you are dicing with your life. Due to the molecular structure of a helmets material the painting and subsequent baking of said helmet weakens it due to the chemicals used in Car paints and the actual baking weakens the strength and integrity of the crash helmet so when if it's ever needed the strength of the helmet will fail which could ultimately result in your death or at least a very serious injury. If you read the safety instructions for crash helmets it will tell you not to Paint them for this very reason

    • @HomeBuiltByJeff
