Guys,
Decided i'd like a new helmet and liked the ayrtek ones, thought i'd go for it and bag myself a custom design one. My teams club colours are blue an yellow and i spoke to Tom and he was unbelievably helpful and helped choose a decent design and colour. Got some pics through from Tom of the colours and design now its been done. Its going to have my club badge and initials on it when its finished so should look brilliant

The design looks WOWing!
-
Considering where to put initials and ayrtek... maybe put ayrtek bottom left of helmet (according to picture 3) or just otherside, bottom left, on the bottom section around the helmet, what you think. And then initials either bottom right (according to pic 3) or above and to the right of two yellow stripes (picture two), on the helmet part not the bottom section.
-
Quality colours! Never realised Ayrtek could do that for people!
-
Nick Nack glad you like it needs tidying up a bit yet as still a few bits of masking tape left on in the pics which make the lines look a bit wonky!
Colour wise Sam wanted the helmet colour to match his club hoody so took that into consideration when getting hold of the colours to match it.
-
Yeah :) gave tom my hoodie, which was wet as had just been washed at the time, and not only did tom match it perfectly, he also dried it out on radiator for me :D.
-
what do you think about "ayrtek" and initials thomas??
-
Don't know mate will have a look later on as it's time to eat now!!
-
Tom, you never fail to tempt me. I can just see the abuse crawling in though, not that i'm fussed. Sometimes can put me of my game....
-
Lol at Tom in the reflection on the helmet (pic 2)
-
yeah noticed that!! pic 4 gotta a little snap too!
-
Haha shows the gloss finish off ;) as well as my mug...just be greatful you didn't have the dog in the pic as well!!
-
haha. Hadn't considered being lh or rh making a difference to the design at the time! Must remember that in future!

-
Just respond with slaughtering the bowlers
-
Silver pinstripes look nice :)
-

-
looks really good, I just hope you can bat like Sangakarra wearing that! You could always become the new Evel Knieval wearing that if dont get any runs!
-
thats what i mean!!
-
Looks very very smart!
-
Only joking its really cool, I like it and am going to get a black one with flames all over it
Sorry, I cant stop now, I do like it really and I will get one, but maybe a bit subtler!!!
-
Im going to luminous pink pin stripes and metalic black.....hoping I can find time to do it up next week! :-)
-
I would love to see it :)
Thought you didn't wear a helmet Tom..... And if you choose to do the refurb helmet thing I think I'll go with that colour scheme lol
-
whats the most garish one you've done Tom, have you got pics?
-
dont be a pu*** do the whole helmet luminous pink and get black pinstripes!
-
Nope, Electric Pink, and Yellow Lightning!
-

Holland one we did was pretty lively too!
(http://i444.photobucket.com/albums/qq167/tom_ayrtek/holland.jpg)
-
I think the Lashings XI is one of the best looking
-
The Holland one looks quite good. But the MCC...
-
I actually really like the MCC one! And I like the way the blue contrasts the orange around the bottom on the Holland one. when I get mine it will be same colours as Peplow but in the Holland style (no flames please)!
-
yhh holland one is nice, that may be next years refurb ;)
-
Lol yeah good thinking mate.....why not go for a new one each year as you can change it easily enough
-
few more in the mix with some baby blue and yellow!

Was a while back before india changed to a darker shade of blue.
-
Can we expect to see any Indian players wearing Ayrtek? If so when?
-
It depends if they decide to wear the helmet that they have :-\
-
Lol yeah good thinking mate.....why not go for a new one each year as you can change it easily enough
yeah good idea, and you got the paint colour so its easy! is it easy to spray???
-
not particulary....cant tell you how annoying it is when you think uv got one finished then something goes wrong at the last minute and it need re-doing!
-
Do you think you'll offer a refurb service Tom?
-
not particulary....cant tell you how annoying it is when you think uv got one finished then something goes wrong at the last minute and it need re-doing!
moral of that story is dont do it wrong!!! teach me to spray them :) and i can do mine without sending it too you, and do some of your simple ones if needed, as as you've noticed im never up to much in the day!!!

I knock in bats in my spare time as I have a lot of it too :P
-
Joe...yeh thought I had a while back that if our customers want it refurbed at the end of the season to iron out any dents/scratches etc that may have occurred throughout the season when having a helmet knocking around in a kit bag they can send it back and we can add a fresh design/colour to it perhaps or simply refurb it to as new condition. After which it will be sent back to them for another season's use!
-
Perhaps you two Sadley Broke boys should go to nets together instead of sitting inside in front of the TV!
P.s Sammy u can practice on your car parts im sure your soon learn not to go wrong after doing it and having to strip it back to scratch again!
-
Lol I would go to nets if I had money!
My lid has a few dents/scratches already lol, even inside the bag!

i will practice on my sisters car first :D
-
yeh hard to keep anything in mint condition when next to spikes/bats etc! Let me know if u want it re-done as over your way next week i expect dropping the new bat stickers off.
Im sure she will love that mate!
-
Depends if it costs :P
you said you'd fix the bolt for me too ;)
-
yeah not so sure she will. if i dont post on here for a while, report murder to police!!!
-
I love that Holland Helmet, who was it for?
-
yhh holland design is a good one! and easy to do i suppose...well easier than others! simple but very effective
-
We had 12 helmets back fro mthe BSI that were used in testing they had a few dents etc in them and obviously we wouldnt use them to fulfil orders so we sprayed them and as it was the world cup we did one up in a different design for each country.
Did see the holland side at wormsley but they had lovely orange SS helmets and a couple of masuri's already. yeh my life would be much easier if you all ordered one of them!
-
My favourite.... :)

-
Ah that was the old one which was photoshopped onto the graphics...too fine to print and use so went for the one we use now as it stands out better for the Sky cameras lol ;)
-
Tom could you put a pic of it with metallic blue strips? Gonna take too long on paint :P
-
Cant do metallic on a computer mate just a blue version of it...will do it tomorrow

Looks lush :L
As the black is more of a grey I think it'll look even better if made...
