Along the lines of getting great servcie from someone. Ive just had my open face lid returned from Didi Custom Painter and hes done a simply awesome job for a very reasonable price. He did the design and airbrushing to a very high standard. If you're thinknig of getting your lid painted I can highly recomend him. He is on facebook as Didi Custom Painter.

Mods - Im only sharing a really positive service that others might benefit from.

--- other helmet painters are available---

I'd like to second that endorsement of JLF.

I've used Jason to do my lids for the last 15 years, from when he started in his garage through his current set up.

Despite the fact that the list of drivers and riders using his skills now extends to the likes of Lewis Hamilton I still receive as warm a welcome as I did all those years ago.

Skill, great quality and a friendly service. How rare that is to find today !!!

His the blue and the stripe match the TVR Grantura that we race n classics and I wanted the Irish flag on it. I asked him to keep it simple as he loves to go mad with his skills!
