Custom Helmet Painting

Hello everyone,

I am working very hard to kick start my custom helmet painting business. I will go into a little detail about myself later in the post however first I will start off with a basic idea of my services and some examples.

Pricing is very dependent on what you want done as far as colors and graphics go, however I will be offering any out of stater's a discount for giving me the opportunity to get my name into other regions. If interested in getting something done, please either send me a private message or email me at designbydenton@gmail.com

I am based out of Jacksonville Florida and am trying to expand my work up into the more die-hard sprint region and try to rally up some business anywhere I can. I do a lot of European styled helmets (straight lines/scallops), however I can do ANYTHING including tribal, etc.

Here are a couple of examples of my work including one I HAVE NOT finished yet, but it is my current project:





My current project (still needs pinstriping done)






Ok so a little bit more about me-
My name is Brandon Denton, I am a college student, and self-funded midget racer. I ran drift cars at a pro-am level for two years before I just recently purchased my first midget. I come from winged sprint cars. I have been painting for about 4 years, and painting helmets for about a year now. I started with RC car bodies when I raced RC cars, and just worked my way up from there. I have always funded my racing via painting and am trying extremely hard to make a name for myself within the custom helmet paint world as well as I absolutely love what I do. I just need help getting my name out there and getting more business across the country rather than just locally.

Here are a few of my RC bodies just so you guys can kind of see the array of work I can do...




Any questions feel free to ask.

Single/two colors can be as low as $300.... But usually most of my stuff is within the $500-$900 range. It really depends on colors and designs.... I usually don't charge for colors I have in my cabinet already but if you want something wild like candies or flake, etc. that I have to buy it bumps the price up..... (paint is very expensive unfortunately)
