This past 9 months I was getting out of doing construction and painting, was pretty far into the process of being a highway patrol, and at the last second I realized that isn’t me, so I’m back swinging hammers and painting in the evenings, this one felt good to do and am stoked on the result. Up next I am painting a sprint car and matching helmet next for a great guy that’s helping me out with my racing Jon Dewees, he’s a navy veteran and it will be a American flagged themed car most likely 👊 anyways here’s the lid
Amazing talent.
Looks good, and thats coming from a fellow liquid coating application specialist... Or, painter..
How about a cover the earth lid?
On a real note, id love to do one of my current lids with a custom job similar to one of mine in the early 2000s. I paint houses though, not helmets or cars. Lol
Think exterior duration would hold up on a helmet? Just kidding lol..
Haha it might😂
Whewwww... thought this thread was gonna b about something else... 🙂🙃😉

What would a paint job like that cost? It’s really cool looking without being over the top.
Sheesh. Nice work
Nice work dude!
You still racing the sprints? Planning on going out to watch here soon
Yeah I’m racing this Saturday, this thing is such a beast it’s been a lot harder than I anticipated 🤣
man, youre really good at what you do. dont give it up!
Looks bad ass!
How many hours would you say goes into something like that, if that's not prying?
I'm just sitting here thinking of how many "Do Overs" I'd have logged. 🤣
$338 is the going rate....
😁 I Kidd, I kidd.... Beautiful artwork!
I won’t share the price since he sent it in a PM, but I will say that it’s less than I expected it to be!
Haha, I bet! We were hoping to go Saturday but Mother-in-law's birthday dinner all of a sudden popped up. Good luck Saturday!
Having worked with @bigdogpaint401 , I can say of you are thinking about it, do it. Very easy to work with, and the results are amazing.
You’re talented, nice work there. 💯 Be sure to show us the Sprint Car.
Pit Row
Nice..😎
I have a whole thread in non moto from my first day in the car through the first three races

I’ve had quite a few helmets that have ended up in me working well below minimum wage😂, I’d say this helmet has about 30 hours into it total
That’s sweet!
Helmet looks good! I’ll stop by your pits on Saturday if you’re out there. I’ll be there all day spinning wrenches.
Very cool, thanks.
Try Forte
Hell yeah who’s your driver?
I help out the Wakim boys. Pretty sure we’re only running Conor this weekend. Cole is taking the weekend off.
Sick I’ll try not to get in the way 😂 that’s some serious racing pedigree there, my uncle Mike raced against Chris in the early 2000s and will be there
You’ll be fine, just like moto hold your line and the fast guys will get around ya.
Cole is definitely doing great right now. Conor is picking things up pretty fast too considering he’s only been in the car a handful of races.
Chris and I have been friends for years so I’m always happy to help out his boys.
Hey man thanks again, the pictures don’t do it justice but it’s awesome!
