ou can think of.
It's been a while but I finally got back to painting after taking the summer off. I spent the summer riding around the maritimes and did not have much interest in being in the shop painting.
One of the riders that come out with us, wanted a helmet painted. Jim Bishop is a Elvis impersonator and wanted a Elvis themed helmet. After a few layout designs, we ended up settling in on a design. He dropped off the helmet and I was on my way.
The paint is a mix of Elvis design and pictures that I took of Jim doing a local concert. I have about 20 hrs in this job and I am pretty happy with the final product. The entire job was painted using Autoair paints and although these paints take a while to get used to, they work well.
I should have kept painting to keep my skills up. It took a little while to get back in the groove. I had to get used to fine details, accurate spot touching and getting used to mixing the right paint consistency. Not as easy as you would think.
Tomorrow I clear the helmet and will post final pics.
