Helmet Paint Scheme

TnNinjaGirl · January 26th, 2014, 07:19 AM

Summer is almost here! (ok it's a few month away.. whatever) Anywho, I'm trying to get all of my winter projects worked out and one of them is to have my helmet painted.

So.. Here is my Fulmer. I really like the deisgns and get compliments on it all the time:

Here is my Arai. It's boring and something needs to be done with it. It's dirty too. Don't judge.

The Arai needs help. I can't live another season with a plain white helmet. I'm digging the graphics on the Fulmer but want something a bit different on the Arai. I like the idea of pink but haven't been able to find any designs I like.

I've always wanted a RedBull helmet. This design would be pretty simple and it's a favorite.

I get to thinking and I really like the pink in my Fulmer. Does anyone out there have any ideas or an opinion (besides don't paint it

)

Maybe people can start showing their stock helmets or ideas they've always wanted to see on a helmet.

I've always wanted a redbull helmet as well... I like the fulmer to though. My killer clown helmet is pretty sweet! Sparkles, any helmet that sparkles gets a big

from me

I realy dig the pink Fulmer and think you should go with the Red Bull for your Arai. That way you can choose a helmet that suits your mood for that day.

A guy I know paints helmets and he does marbelized ones that look pretty cool. I'm sure it would be awesome in hot pink.

I would post my helmet, except it wouldn't be family friendly.

As for the white helmet, how about the Red Bull design, but paint the blue parts pink instead?

My opinion so don't get me wrong, but I don't get the whole redbull and monster craze. Like the idea of going with pink for the red bull design if that's what your going with.

What color is your bike? What color are your leathers?? :-) Gotta be color coordinated :-)

@TnNinjaGirl any ideas for your helmet? Can't wait to see pics when it's done.

cbinker · January 26th, 2014, 08:44 PM

call me crazy, but unless red bull is paying you, do not do that paint scheme, find something that is nor representative of free advertising for a company. just my opinion.

JohnnyBravo · January 26th, 2014, 08:46 PM

Sykes wins today's Internet!!!

I was gonna do a redbull helmet in a super light silver with baby pink pearl an Carolina blue with a ice pearl... Got talked out of it :/
Still think with some minor tweaks I could get it right

Crazy

@Snake I honestly have no idea yet. I ride so many different bikes i don't particularly want it to coordinate. But I do like the idea. I like the RedBull scheme and i like where people have suggested doing it in pink. I might see if someone can photoshop that. I'm still open to ideas

my wallet didn't have enough money to fly

What I want to do personally is get a white helmet and give someone who I know to be artistically gifted creative freedom (add some Isle of Man and MotoGP references would be the one instruction) with a sharpie then clearcoat the result so it stays on for good. Then when I retire the helmet it will look great on display

JohnnyBravo · January 26th, 2014, 09:30 PM

I think if you do the redbull, you should stay true to redbull or make pinkbull!

That's how I got talked out of it CB

TnNinjaGirl · January 26th, 2014, 09:38 PM

@JohnnyBravo why didn't you do pink?

I'm going to see what the pink looks like photoshopped. If I'm in love it's done. Otherwise i already have a pink helmet and will probably do standard Red Bull.

I came across a silver seven zero seven today. Might just leave that one silver.

Perhaps one helmet in standard and one in pink red bull?

Still open to suggestions. Pictures appreciated.

JohnnyBravo · January 26th, 2014, 09:46 PM

Got talked out of it... It wouldn't be a real redbull helmet.etc etc i was active army and still on post then.

No real good reason, just never did... I think if ya went with a lighter blue, a bigger bull (pink) and the words in pink it would be TIGHT!
