Little inside joke here? Always Wear Protection when riding a Whore right?
I will not profess to being a expert at this but, a GOOD friend [Dusty] told and taught me how he did lettering. In fact have never held a air brush before this bike. Printed off my script.
Cut it out with a exacto knife.
Trimmed the paper down so it would conform to the helmet.
Used hot soapy water and wet the helmet and paper templete.
Stuck it to the helmet and added all the little pieces for the A's and O's.
Taped the edges down.
Built a box out of tape to keep the over spray in.
Air brushed the color.
Painted.
Used and exacto knife to pull the little A and O pieces out. Then lightly scratched the places around the letters I wanted to clean up.
Used scotch brite to take off any over spray off that may have got under paper.
Done.
