[andryk]

Hi im new to the forum and this is my first post on here, i hope i'm doing everything right.
So here is my helmet at the start when i used it for couple of months (the red one):

Then after couple of months it looked like this:

But then again after about half a year it was very tiredm scratched all over and was dropped so many times so i bought myself a brand new HJC helmet but because this was my first helmet and i've done nearly 2 years riding with it i would like to keep it but i cannot ut it on a shelf as it looks really bad it's in very bad condition so what i thought i'll do with it is stickerbomb it so i started and here are my first steps as thats how far i got today with it:

I didn't have any more stickers at home.
So yeah thats as far as i got through today, i bought some stickers of ebay and im just waiting for them to arrive.
If you have any stickers at home unused and you would like to donate them to me please PM me and i'll give you my details.
Thanks for looking
Will update as soon as something changes
This is the effect that i would like to achieve:

I'd be asking the fat, white bearded, red suit wearing peado for a new lid......

[andryk]

Why would i ask for a new lid when i clearly said in the last post that i have bought myself a brand new HJC helmet

Errr? ok ! welcome to the forum.

If that bash-hat is tired and scratched, is it no longer usable?
You mention that it`s in really bad condition, how does putting stickers on it help?

Hey, each to thier own

If its dead.... bury it.
Its not obje-da...
Its just.... a cheap nitro lid covered in free shit off a magazine!
Does it have sentimental value or something?

I agree with Tef on this
...to a point.
however if I knew that my new helmet was ok with stickers being slapped on it I might start a mobile scrapbook.
every event you go to over the next year, get a sticker.
every gig you go to, whether it's a big named band in a stadium or the band that's a mate of a mate down the pub, buy a sticker, slap it on your helmet.
then 2 years from now you'll have a stickerbombed helmet that also is chocked full of memories.
you'll look at it and think "Remember when we went to there?" or "remember when we saw them?"

The whole point of this is that i want to keep the helmet but it's scratched so doesnt look good, and i like the stickerbomb style thats why im doing it this way, some people like it some people dont end off

[Tungtvann]

It's certainly different and unique! It's your helmet mate, screw what the other people say. I wouldn't do it to mine, but I'm not going to slag you off for liking yours like that.

[AL-]

Why not strip it down, and do a respray on it with your own design rather than cover it in tacky stickers?

[andryk]

My skills would only allow me to do a single colour paitjob thats why i porefer to stickerbomb it

[Alpha-9]

Ah right, decoration. Was gonna say, sticking a load of opaque stickers over your visor, seems wise

If you're not good at painting then it's all the more reason to do it on a shitty old helmet, you gotta learn somehow

And yes, boring stickers are boring

I'd take a stab at painting it. Even if you mess it up you can put your stickers on it.

[andryk]

Too late for that decision as i'm like half way through the stickerbomb so its not worth me peeling them all off and painting it. I dont wat to put huge amount of money and time into this project as i won't use it anyways

[anthony_r6]

The term "Stickerbomb" sounds like something they'd use on Art Attack...

[roadracejoe]

whos the les dawson lookalike ?

[andryk]

Sorry again to dissapoint you all but im sticking with the stickerbomb for this helmet, please dont call it hat as it clearly is a crsh helmet not a crash, i really like the painted helmet taht you showed me but it's too late i still prefer to stick to the stickerbomb, i do it because i like the way it looks. And here is another surprise for you im getting my old JEB'S motocross helmet which i let him use for couple of months and now im getting it back and i'll probably repaint it so will make another thread

[P.]

Insurance claim wouldn't go down too well with this...
