Ayrtek elite helmet refurb.
« on: October 05, 2013, 04:41:15 PM »

I've been toying with the idea of having my Ayrtek refurbed for a couple of weeks now. I haven't been able to get down to Tb post office so thought I'd have a go at doing it myself. Although I'm happy with the finish and new colour I'd recommend sending it back to Tom.  It took me a hell of a lot longer than expected!

I can't seem to find a decent before picture but it was originally navy blue gloss with silver pin stripes. 



During refurb, removing grill etc.





Preparation





First coat of new paint,  decided to go for a matt black look.



A couple of coats of black later.



Lining glued back in and grill back on.





Only thing left to do is add white pin stripes. Just need to source some  ;)

Told you it would look great pal. Matte black lid was always going to be a winner :)

Krs you have the same problem as me... Had a raw when thet were first released and loved it, just couldn't get my tiny peanut head to sit right without pumping up too much :(

The new junior premiertek might solve the problem :)

Matte black is a good choice, all the best people have that ;)

That looks awesome, could never tell you had refurbed it yourself without knowing better. Top work.
