Custom paint job on a helmet

Anybody know where you could get a custom paint job done on your helmet in Ireland? :twisted:

Thanks

Michael.

I know within the R/C helicopter fraternity there used to be individuals that spend 100s of pounds on airbrushed canopies- real intricate airbrushing, and stuff... I'm sure i can dig out a few contacts for you if this is what you're after.

Hello Gordon,

I'll bore you with the details :) , the beak is a "C" for my son Callum,the talons are a " E" for my daughter Eimear & the body & wing are a "M" for Marilyn my wife.
The Vortex represents the element of wind, a tribal style look to it.
I'm really happy with it.

Michael.
