It was a rough Lazer MX6 now repainted..................

I'm pleased with it! I don't have a MXer anymore though!

What does everyone think?

It took a week or so but in terms of hours probably 2 working days though it was far from new!

Both helmets you see have been stripped, sanded, filled, sanded, base colour applied, marked out, airbrushed using freehand and stencils, clear coated, sanded, buffed, polished and re-built. Quite a bit of work.

So to answer, yes I can do airbrush writing on them. I don't profess to be great at them yet but I'm learning. Well 2 I have done are there to judge. What had you in mind?

Great work. When repainted would it be safe enough to use on the road again.

A repainted helmet is fine to use, most helmets are fibreglass or a composite. All car helmets come white or black for painting.
The whole inside of the helmet is masked up and all the vent holes plugged. As well as that it's water based paint.

The one type of helmet that should not be repainted is plastic as the 2 pack clearcoat can soften the shell over time, months, but only the very cheapest are plastic.
