You still didn't explain the complex method. All you talk about is the securing the helmet process... If it's such common knowledge, why don't you tell everyone how I did it? And yet when I ask questions about concepts/ideas all I get is people telling me to do it the ole fashioned way...

I have no idea why you even came after me? What did I say that set you off? You're blowing this way out of proportion. I don't check this forum all the time to see whats a top topic. I don't care. So thats why I didn't know about your mixer... If you have all this time to always be on top of...

Hold up. I know nothing about this "premium" section you speak of. Not to mention I did A LOT of research to figure this out, and read through a HUGE thread about wrapping helmets on this forum. And lots of people were asking the successful ones how they did it, and none of them really gave to...

First off, Gino, you're in Reading? I'm sitting in Hummelstown as I type this, and live in Lancaster. The only thing I've done so far is before and after pics. Working on a helmet right now, and I took before pics of it so when I post up the finished product everyone can see what it used to...

Actually, the orange 661 helmet is mine :wink:

Thanks for the feed back guys! I had an epiphany over the weekend in regards to this job, and will be meeting with the client this week to discuss the concept. When I get stuff laid out, I'll post up some piccs to share!

That is sexy! But, what I'm trying to do is completely different then what you posted. Those are bascically just vector lines, which could be cut with a plotter. Which would work great like in the attached image. The extra elelments I'd be adding would be bitmap style with gradients and several...

This coming from someone with the name "CheapVehicleWrap"...

Thanks man! Yeah thats what I'm hoping to do is try some different options and compare. I have 2 different reps to call later. Hopefully I don't have to purchase samples, cause you'd think they'd be willing to work with you on something like this. If we have more options, that means more...

All the helmets are using Avery vinyl and lam. The vinyl may be different between a few of them. We have a lot of vinyl in stock... I'm still in the prototype stage, haven't started charging for them yet.

Thanks for some input. I understand the lam will make it look matte, just trying to figure out how matte... I'm going to talk with our suppliers today to try and get some laminate samples. It wouldn't have to match the solid cast exactlly, but needs to be pretty close. One way or another, I'm...

Yeah it would be cheaper. But it would also look cheap to... The client is a hi-end turbo performace shop with a great logo and branding, so I don't want to half-ass it. Tryin to use my whole ass here... Basically I'd like to print all black, be able to add their logo (which they already have...

So, can you print black using matte vinyl and lam and have it compare to a matte vinyl like COsigns said?

Yeah, I saw the Avery stuff. We use Avery for cast vinyl all the time. And occasionally the wrap vinyl. I like Avery's products :thumb:

Yes trying to compare digitally printing black, (so I can add graphic elements) to black matte vinyl. Wasn't sure if the matte vinyl needed to be laminated, mostly to add extra protection. I've never worked with cast matte vinyl for wrapping. I see it being done quite a bit lately, seems like...

So I have a potential client that wants his STI wrapped in black matte vinyl. I know this is a trend right now, so I'd like to bring more to the project then just plain black. I talked with him about this, and I'd like to add some details, like some of the logos of parts used on the car, and...

Somebody loved that logo?

Had no idea you had to post pics like this... Anyway...

Yes, all of them were several pieces. The MX helmets were more then the race car helmets. Off site pics...? What am I missing?

Just started getting into wrapping helmets. Thought I'd post up some pics... . Automated message: Please observe Signs 101 rules on posting pictures found here www.signs101.com/forums/showthread.php?t=35000 :thankyou: .
