Had this added to my helmet, what do you think

Postby InfernoST » Tue Apr 03, 2012 17:45 17

I purchased a Scorpion EXO-1100 about 4 weeks ago used it twice and brought it to a relatively well known Painter/Artist to have the text you see in the picture added, I felt the helmet was missing something and believe this completes the package. What do guys think?

Maybe a bit much for a scooter...but if you ride it fast it might help.

Cool! Was this a commercially available decal set?

Its not a decal set, I had it painted on by Nub from Nub Grafix, I also had my girls & wife's nicknames put on the sides and front of the helmet.

Thanks

I love the helmet, it's much lighter than my Icon Alliance SSR, comfortable, the visors are great & don't fog up and are crystal clear with plenty of ventilation.

Thanks for the pic. It is the first good shot of the backside of the helmet I have seen. The EXO-1100 is on my short list for my next purchase and I like the patriotic theme! It would look good on the PGR missions for sure. :thumbup:

I like it; shows individuality.
Interestingly our helmets over here warn against sticking decals or painting as it could weaken the protective strength on impact. You don't find much of that done here and if it were to be done it would be bespoke at the manufacturer.

Nubs is a really cool down to earth guy, we chatted for about an hour on each of my visits and not once got the feeling of being rushed out. I had him also add my girls & wifey's nicknames on the lid as well, it's amazing how well it looks, the helmet looks like it came from the manufacturer with writing already on it.

Dave b, the paint in some "Rattle Cans" can harm some plastics. But a good paint shop knows what solvents are harmful and will use a different paint formula. Krylon has a safe for plastic paint called Fusion. I have not checked to see if its safe for helmets or not.
