About Us

At X-Paint I have been painting helmets (amongst other items!) for a very long time.  Our first Arai was an early Moto-X model painted in a palm trees design somewhere around 1987. I have painted for some of the worlds fastest Racers, bravest Stunters, Celebrities and even Royalty.  I have worked for major brands and I have won awards.  My work has been featured in many magazines and on TV.

Do you need a new helmet? While it is not necessary, it is certainly advisable if possible. At UK Custom Paint, we can supply brand new helmets at discounted prices. In addition to Arai, we also offer other top brands such as Stilo, Bell and Shoei among others. Trust us to provide you with the perfect helmet for your needs and ensure your safety on the road or track. 

Struggling with drawing? Don’t worry, we’ve got you covered. At X-Paint, we understand that designing your own helmet can be a challenge, especially if you’re not confident in your drawing skills. That’s why we offer a variety of options to help bring your design to life. Whether you prefer to send us your own sketches, descriptions, or reference materials like magazines or pictures from the web, we’re more than happy to work with whatever you provide. And to ensure your complete satisfaction, we even provide detailed computer designs for your approval before we start painting. Please note that there is a cost for the computer design due to the time and work involved in creating it, the cost for a digital design can range from between £100 and £250. 

Yes. At UK Custom Paint, we absolutely have the ability to paint or print logos from the files you provide. We recommend providing good, high-resolution images to ensure the best results. If we need to redraw the logos, there will be an additional cost. 

At UK Custom Paint, we take pride in our meticulous process, ensuring that your custom helmet receives the utmost attention and care. It typically takes between two or three weeks to complete a helmet from start to finish. Rest assured, we focus on one helmet at a time, with your custom design being our sole priority once we begin. Please note that lead times might be longer during pre-race season and in the lead up to Christmas. We strive to provide exceptional service and exceed your expectations by under promising and over delivering regularly. 

Prices vary depending on the intricacies & complexities of the design. As a rough guide, a simple design with basic colours starts at £250. An average race design can range between £450-£750. Adding chrome to your design will add £250 to the overall cost. Airbrushed murals and cartoons are priced individually based on the hours required.

When you get your finished job there will always be an element of surprise and we find our customers really appreciate that.  In this day and age there are very few true surprises left.
