William Jr Zollo

“The attention to detail, quality of workmanship and flawless finish exceeded all my expectations. The design was executed perfectly and looks incredible both on and off the track.

What sets X-Paint apart is the service. Communication was professional and responsive throughout, and Iain went above and beyond to ensure I was completely satisfied with the finished result.

Outstanding craftsmanship and a helmet that turns heads wherever it goes. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend X-Paint.”

“For the past three seasons, I’ve worked closely with Iain to develop and evolve my race helmet designs. Every helmet has been finished to an exceptional standard, with attention to detail, durability and presentation that stands up to the demands of racing.

Iain takes the time to understand the brief, brings fresh ideas to the table and consistently delivers a finished product that looks fantastic both on and off the bike. The quality of workmanship and level of service have always been first class.

I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend X-Paint.”

Dale Gent

“He is super happy with the finished helmet. I honestly can’t thank you enough. It made his 40th that extra bit more special.

It looked fantastic at Pembrey and definitely brought Dale some luck over the weekend, with a 3rd, 2nd and 1st place finish.

The helmet attracted plenty of attention both in the paddock and on track, even receiving a special mention during the BARC TV coverage. The quality of the paintwork and attention to detail were outstanding. We are happy to show off the talent of X-Paint wherever we can. You should charge extra for Lucky Paint in future!”
