Here's a DIY custom helmet for my Type-65 Coupe, D8YTONA for upcoming shows and track days.
Helmet is a G-Force Racing GF-1 Open Face, White
I DIY'd the painting of this helmet myself following the typical stripes and car painting process for most Cobras.
Removed the helmet bill. Prep., sand and tape off. I did use aerosol spray paint cans due to the small coverage area. Sray paint base primer gray, spray paint the Base White on the central area of the helmet. Precisely tape cover the exact area desired for the two stripes. Spray paint the entire helmet in the desired primary color, ford Performance blue (FM), in this case just the car. Carefully remove just the tape covering the two helmet stripes. Touch up as necessary. Spray paint the clear. Note that multiple (3-4) coats were used for every paint application with appropriate drying times between each. Carefully remove all tapes and re-assemble the bill to the helmet. DONE
Here's some of my inspiration:
Here's the finished result:
