Need to boost my post count, so, I thought I'd post pics of my latest Options

These two helmets were painted for two Pelican 911 posters. I may have posted a link earlier showing the first thread, but I'm looking for more info from my friends.

While these two were actually give-aways, I need to figure if I could sell something similar. Would anyone buy designs of this quality and of so, how much would you be willing to pay. I need honest feedback, good or bad.

Thanks,

Yes, I am clear coating them if the customer desires. With my studio located in the house, I'm only using rattle can clear. I tried an automotive clear, but couldn't get the gloss I wanted so I went back to Krylon. It's durable and glossy without buffing. I can also leave without clear, but shipping it that way could be a problem. Also some designs will require me to clear during the painting. The stars and stripes was cleared between each color then cleared several times before being stripped and cleared again afterwards. I wet sanded it between each clear.

edit: side note: The visor on the top helmet was painted and the lettering was a customer provided sticker used as a mask. I won't make that mistake again. Taking off the stickers pulled up a lot of paint so the letters had to be freehand painted afterwards. The stars and stripes visor has a sticker made my the customer. I din't paint any of that.

Here's the back... Keep in mind that this was my first attempt at freehand pin stripping. I'll have much more practice before I do another.
