Default airbrushing request

dont know where to post, so i figured this is my best option.

just bought a black 2005 yamaha r6 - all black, red wheels with polished lips, and the red spring in the back. my question is if anyone wuld be able to airbrush a design on my black helmet? i have an HJC CL-MAX black helmet, and figured id get somethin airbrushed on to kinda break up the monotony. im not lookin for something too extravagant, or too heavy - just somethin to show up and look sharp. i want the paint to be the same shade of red as my wheels (in which case i will provide a pic of the bike if anyone is serious about doing this for me). also, the artist will be able to come up with his/her own design...so long as it doesnt look weird lol.

depending on the price, i may be able to do this soon. otherwise, im just looking to see if anyone on here is even willing to do this.

ok, ill wait for the pics to show up here. i took a look at ur site and i didnt see too much artwork as far as unique designs, but what i did see looked sharp.

how much are u asking for? i dont have a specific design in mind..i'd just like to have a cool, unique tribal design or something of that sort. i dont want it to cover the whole helmet - like i said earlier, i just want somethin thats subtle...that adds just enough touch. i can give u pics of the bike if u'd like, if that gives u a better idea.

O.O holy **** dude...thats incredible artwork ya got there! i almost wanna send my bike to have u paint it

but to answer ur question, my r6 isnt the raven version - the previous/first owner ordered some visual upgrades. i can give u pics if u'd like. maybe that'll help give u an idea of wut to paint on my helmet? as far as a description goes - the bike is all black, with red rims/polished lips, red spring (in the rear), and a smoked windscreen. other minor details include powdercoated pegs, !stock turn signal/license plate bracket and replaced with the small clear markers, front markers are clear. i think that about does it. but like i said, lemme know if u want pics so u can get an idea of the red thats on the bike. im not sure if its the same shade as whats on the raven.

after seeing the pics on ur page, ill trust ur imagination wont be too wild or crazy where the helmet will look retarded.

You said you wanted like some tribal flames to match your bike. Something subttle like that would run you 150.00. But you would have to pay for shipping. I also have a plotter so if you wanted like r6 on there or something like that i can do that as well. i think some red tribal flames out lined in the silver the r6 number are would look sweet. But not too much just enough to get noticed.

i like ur taste already.. how long u think this wuld take? i dont want u to rush or anything...just make sure u do a good job (which im confident, by ur pictures uve shown me, that more than capable of exceeding my expectations). my helmet's got a few scratches on it, but..i dont think it wuld cause a big problem.

i know when i post pics, i have to go thru a picture host - such as photobucket.com or cardomain.com. lately, ive been using photobucket, since they're real quick to register and upload pics with. once u upload those pics, u got to right click on the pic u want, go to properties, and highlight/copy the picture's address/url (the real long address starting with http://). once u've copied it, start a reply/post here, then just click on the insert image button (below the 3 drop-down menus for font, size, and color), and a prompt box comes up. all u got to do is paste the address u copied into that box, click ok, and thats it. ull see it show up here with some basic html codes, an ur done with posting that pic. press enter twice more and repeat those steps as necessary.

lemme know when u want me to send it (after the 15th of this month), an ill pack it up an send her on her way. also, lemme know how to pay you the money u quoted me. i dont think we're aloud to discuss prices out here in the open since ur not an official sponsor, so as far as that goes, we can pm each other.
