I have just uploaded a few examples to the website to demonstrate the scope available when designing your own helmet.

Below are a couple of example of the design templates that were converted into an actual helmet to show you how easy it is....

Lashings XI

Dehli Dare Devils

Design Template

Would be interesting to see what designs people can come up with!!!!

love the idea of emblazoning my club colours all over the helmet, shame we got such awful colours, sky blue and navy blue - cant see it working.

Oh, i also think the images have come up fantastically on the helmets, good work tom!

So if we design a helmet, you can make it for us?

mimimum orders apply i'm pretty sure - cost to set-up is probably too high to do it on an individual basis

Love the idea of this!!
Similar to the black and yellow, but with black and dark green (dark green club colours) instead would be excellent!

No he does one offs think im right in saying it costs �45 on top of the purchase price tho . . .

Yep correct one offs are done, no set up fees. Just add �45 to your helmet.

�45 is what i would regard as a small set-up fee, if i ordered 10 helmets with graphics would they all cost �45 each, or less because of the quantity?

Howzat · « **Reply #8 on:** December 03, 2009, 01:11:46 PM »

The �45 covers the set-up fee for carrying out the work

Its obviously alot of hassle to have to mark out shapes etc and spray cost of more than one colour is time consuming. As they need to be done in separate layers.

If you ordered in bulks of 10 I'm sure the figure would come down a little, but its more the time involved in having to do each one by hand and forming templates etc if you are producing more than one of them. Also for a 2 colour design it needs two coats doing which takes longer than one coat (fairly obviously).

We have done one off though as someone ordered a copy of the Pakistan helmet featured on the facebook site as they liked the fact they would be different to everyone else when wearing it.

The graphics can also be customised with logos etc not just the paint finish if you really wanted to push the boat out.

Hit4Six yes that the basis of it, anything you can design we can transform into a helmet. If you look at motorcycle helmets this is probably the most extreme example with airbrush art of the back of them etc.

Providing the design is viable we can produce it for you from your graphic design off the template as above.

Right got a batch of shells turning up tomorrow so going to have a bit of play with a design.....what would everyone go for? thought a little brain-storming session might throw up a few idea's perhaps with the best going onto a helmet as a competition prize

Buzz · « **Reply #12 on:** April 29, 2010, 09:06:10 AM »

one colour - navy, matt paint.
it will be a design classic, logos/club badges can by stuck on as stickers

ok, maybe not a design classic - but would be popular in the Surrey Leagues!!

Once again, my genius for design completely missed the point, sorry Tom

Tom - whats the turnn around for a custom paint/spray job on the helmet, if i sent it to you on a monday would it be back by a saturday or do you have to wait on the guys doing the work for you?
I will be sending mine to you for a re-spray in a couple of weeks or so if thats ok, i'll be interested to see what designs get put forward by the forum members.......i always liked the idea of a swirly lollipop type design......but then again, i have the mental age of a toddler.

Dom...get it here for a monday and will be back with you by friday i would hope, depends on the complexity of the design in all honesty as the more colours the longer the drying off period etc.
