ANY IDEAS ON WHERE TO GO FOR A HELMET PAINTJOB?

Postby lbevins on Sun Jun 05, 2011 8:40 am

I'm about to retire my 2005 helmet... Like a lot of you (It'll take it's place along side the 7 others I've had over the years). I remember a recent Forum discussion about places to go for good custom paint jobs, but don't remember the names that were suggested. I've used Dave Yost, in the past, and love his work. But, he seems to have fallen off the face of the earth. Does anyone have any suggestions as to another painter/airbrusher? I care about quality more than price. Thanks, ahead of time!

I took my helmets to http://www.come2cars.com and spoke to Larry at 858-565-6511. This place was recommended to me by a PCA member. I had good feeling about it, but ended up sending my helmet to my Dad in Switzerland to get it painted.
