Hey man the helmet looks awesome but you should leave the links of all the tapes you talked about in the description. Continue what your doing you are very talented 👍

[@helmetgurucanada]

I will get to that in new episodes soon.

When do the lines get applied between colours? For example, the green lines. Do you add the lines between colours once layered?

[@AMindInOverdrive]

How many hours does it take you to complete a helmet like that typically?

[@ninjagoalie9999]

Can you do this on full face mountain bike helmets???

[@ringsting]

Hey man, I've got a shoei gt air that I want to paint, but I can't figure out how to remove the vents, any advice you can give

[@ackack2560]

I’ve always had a love interest in helmet painting.. back when I was a kid I was constantly drawing helmets, funny enough I always frothed over your designs. Later on infell into the sign industry for a bit but never could afford my own equipment.. bosses suck 😝. Now I’m learning how to airbrush thanks for this.

[@helmetgurucanada]

Nice! Keep pushing, it takes time.

[@ackack2560]

@@helmetgurucanada I’m struggling pretty bad with what paints to use, If you don’t mind me asking what do you use? I’m tried acrylic now oil paints can’t win 😔

[@shaolin224]

So what was prepped painting the original gloss white?

[@KJcinemas]

How do you prep the paint without compromising the safety of the helmet?

[@mxjammy]

Can i ask you which paint do you use and wish mask paper ? I come from belgium and i start to pain helmet i watch a lot of your video for learn. I paint 2 helmet yet but my logo are not really sharp, i dont know if its the mask paper or my paint... I use createx (water based acrylic) and oramask for my logo. Do you think solvant paint is better for sharper logo or createx is good too ? Thank you for your help !

[@helmetgurucanada]

Thank you for your message. I use exclusively automotive solvent based paint. I use anything from House Of Kolor, PPG, Axalta, etc... I use 2 masking vinyl, the Oramask 810 and the RTape Prograde yellow paintmask.

[@mxjammy]

@@helmetgurucanada thank you very much man its gonna be helpful for me !!

[@mxjammy]

@@helmetgurucanada i just have one more question what clear coat do you use? do you use 2k clear coat or 1K? cause i see a lot of pro apply 5 or 8 coat and i have 2k coat but its very thick. Thank you very much for your help today i buy automotive paint following your advice!

[@helmetgurucanada]

@@mxjammy Automotive Art HS Clear Coat 2.1 VOC 82-41 this is the exact clear I mostly use. In Canada we are subject to low VOC law and I found this clear to work great.

[@mxjammy]

What program do you use for these 3d helmet designs

[@YAHUWADAH3]

I build helmets can anyone help me because the paint after I build helmets keeps peeling

[@StanfordMack-le6cg]

I had bought a different helmet on Amazon at the beginning of this summer for my big headed daughter to wear while bicycling and scootering. kzbin.infoUgkx0ipcYkXV-2YCp_cBN3HLfzR_OoD0HQYx Well it was WAY too big and not adjustable at all. Previously we had really expensive but adjustable helmets from the local bike store and I didn't really want to pay $50 again for another helmet. I searched and was fairly sure from the reviews that this helmet was what I was looking for- and it was! The pads inside are comfortable, the rim in front provides a bit of shade, but most of all for me there is the dial adjuster in the back which allows for a really secure fit on my daughters head. It seems like it will fit for a few years too which makes me even happier! She loves the pattern and I might end up buying another one for her twin sister (who has a much smaller head!)I definitely recommend this helmet. My daughter is 5 but has a big head. Her twin sister could fit in this one as well but it's a bit big.

I'm looking to get a helmet because I want to go karting

[@marcusneiman2168]

will it be as hard as original paint?

[@helmetgurucanada]

I don't totaly get your question? Do you mean in durability?

[@gobbledoc88]

You mention that you made a podcast, I'd love to hear it, where can i find it? What is it called? Vous mentionnez que vous avez réalisé un podcast, j'aimerais l'entendre, où puis-je le trouver ? Comment appelle-t-on ceci?

Can you tell us the measure of the tapes you used:

He said exactly what he used in the video... width and thickness

[@villiamjohansson288]

[@protopshelf62]

research that symbol and question your customer

[@aznp33nRocket]

Didnt he say that HE picked the symbol out and printed it out on a plotter. I really hope he was a victim of a troll or a genuine accident...

[@trolojolo6178]

This guy is obviously a child fiddler.

[@gumonthepants]

Holy mackeral. “… helmet has been unmasked.”

[@austintroyer1823]

What is the computer program you use to make your designs?

[@helmetgurucanada]

I use both Illustrator and Photoshop. I'm planning a video soon on how I do it.

[@austintroyer1823]

@@helmetgurucanada awesome, can’t wait!!

[@4486xxdawson]

Im guessing your Canadian ? After hearing tou say true instead of threw its a French way of threw lol

[@helmetgurucanada]

I guess? Yes I am from Canada.

[@mhaynes5625]

The triangle symbols that you chose look an awful lot like the “boy love” pedophile symbol. Is that intentional?

[@helmetgurucanada]

I didn't even know that symbol existed.
