Reply:here's mine, a combination of decals and rattle can painta painted Powell-Peralta Fly on one side (from my skateboarding years) and a cards graphic (we used to play cards during luch break in welding school)its nothing compared to that amazing Iron Man graphic!and here's my buddy's helmet, custom camo paint (he's in the reserve, so the graphic suits him well), we were welding aluminum with solid wire on those pics
Reply:Wow.... Beautiful Helmet.I just watched Iron Man last night.Compliments to your painter - he does very nice work.Maybe someday I will have a job where a paint job like that will live, but right now, my work is just to NASTY to even try.Enjoy the beautiful helmet for me.Later,Jason
Reply:I think your helmet looks way better than the one on Ironman!  Maybe they should get your paint guy to work on the next movie. Buy the way, who is you paint guy? Compare you helmet to: http://www.allmoviephoto.com/photo/2...n_009_big.html

Reply:Hey guys got a question..I have a Black Miller Performance series helmet..I wanted to spice it up a little and was thinking a Fox Racing logo on it..What'd be the best way for me to do this on my own?Or would it not be a good idea?
Reply:A sticker? or airbrush
Reply:a stencil + any color spray paint will do the job (if you want you can get high temp. paint for car calipers or engine parts), plus the Fox logo is kinda easy to do, so go for itthats what i did

Reply:Get a Fox decal from your local Fox reseller and either make a stencil from that by tracing around the parts you want and cutting them out, or just apply the decal.The decal would be easy to replace when damaged."One of the things we have to be thankful for is that we don't get as much government as we pay for."

Reply:New guy here. This Miller Big Window Elite started life as a plain flat black lid out of the box.I used to own a custom paint shop years ago, so I dressed the hood up a bit with some house of kolor and some hand pinstriping...Paint on top color-shifts from blue to red.Painted in 2006, still looks just as good 6 years later. I do have a couple small chips at the lower edge.Last edited by scrapwelder; 03-05-2012 at 11:50 PM.
