Guys,
the mrs has now decided she wants a new helmet as her cheap shark is crappy ( a told you so just got me a slap ) … Anyway she loves the attached design but the helmet is £129 and i dont want her to have it … So who knows someone who can do a really nice paint job on a silver Arai ?
HELP !
I believe Big Mike (M9Performance on LB) has contacts for this, I would PM him.
The helmet is £129? Have I got this right?
If so, I think a paintjob will be a lot more? Think I’ve missed something.
Correct there…
I think youll be better off buying the new helmet for £129 as a paint job would cost probably more.
Up to you thou mate…do what ever you/she wants! 
never scrimp money on a decent lid!
£129 isn’t that much is it?
Or,…
Pretend you got the lid you want by photochopping your ideal lid onto your head

exactly my thoughts, might as well get her the real thing… ebay?
no no no you have missed the point.
She LOVES the paint job on the lid not the lid. She wants a lid with this on. We’ve discussed the lid and she isn’t having it, we are buying an Arai Corsair in Silver and I want to see how much it would be to get her the same “peace” colouring… Dawn very rarely asks for anything and if I can work this for her, I’m more than happy to get it for her.
Wiggetta, I must say both Jay and I have the same lid as you ( Cathcart Signet ) , and mine is off back to Arai for repair since my inside padding is shot and my mouth visor fell out… After 3 years I’m not that impressed , but we’ll see what Arai say when they get it next week.
Cheers Jay, I’ll drop Mike a PM
I’d forgotten about the repair service, Lee. My Cathcart is looking VERY shabby after being involved in one too many scrapes. New lid on the way soon, another Arai if I can get my way. I’d find it hard to buy any other lid than an Arai, after having testing the effectiveness of their products on more than one occasion. The last was the most drastic, landing on my head with an Arai Astro Race lid. Did the job perfectly.
You’d buy a helmet of EBAY??!!!
Folks if you are going to buy a helmet for paint buy a white one as in any brand they are the cheapest ones e.g. Astro Race in design can be upto £50 more than a white one.
E.G. The eyes paint job was on a black helmet the other helmet it would not matter as the base colour would have been covered.
When it gose for paint it is undercoated all over so the base colour will not matter unless it is a big part of the design. 
dont mean too hijack,but whats the opinoins of the road legal simpson bandits?
i might get one…
p.s…the mrs has got her head screwed on mate …if she wants an arai…
smiled.
Ahhhhh! Yes Lee, I had missed the point. By some distance.
Well good luck and I’m sure Mike’ll sort ya! Can I ask tho, has Dawn got leathers to match ? 
Not my cup of tea road or not to noisy I like mi Arai
www.pitstoppaints.co.uk you really nice lid work so do www.richartconcepts.co.uk .
Mike, just out of curiosity, approximately what would I be looking to spend if I wanted a silver Arai made red? Also, how safe is it for a helmet to be repainted?
yawm…
Meaning?
