Get spray paint can, shake like fook, press nozzle, paint pretty colours.....

Actually rubbed it all back to key, couple of coats of undercoat, flattened using wet and dry, masked it all up and went to town. Lots of spraying and flattening, some lacquer and polishing and there you go.

There is a thread on it somewhere on site.

I threw my old Yes helmet aways when I moved house about 12 years ago :-(

However my mum did find my first open face race helmet recently so she's going to send it over to me so I'll get that restored when it arrives

Atariager...that's a cracking set up

Took this from the web, soooo much style.......was this MX inspired before BMX?

Echo with Factory Zeronine peak - These helmets were given to the winners of each expert class at the ABA Grandnationals in Oklahoma in 1985 ( one of 12-15 or so ? ) .

Sorry pics are crap , they're all boxed right now but if I get them all out at some point I'll take better pics
