SHOEI RETRO HELMET

‘Custom Painted Shoei Glamster — 70s Blue Metallic Flake’

 

Painted this Shoei Glamster last year and never got round to posting it.

The Glamster’s shape already leans retro, so we ran with a full 70s theme: deep blue metallic base with a light flake through it, giving that old-school glint under light without tipping into anything too flashy. It’s the kind of finish that changes character depending on the light — flat and moody indoors, properly sparkling out in the sun.

Getting the flake to lay evenly on a curved shell like this takes patience — multiple clear coats to bed it in and keep the finish smooth to the touch, not gritty. Then it’s cut and polished to bring out the depth in the metallic.

Suits the Glamster down to the ground — it’s a helmet built for this kind of period-correct paint job, not modern graphics.

This is what proper custom crash helmet paint should be:

  • Fully masked and airbrushed

  • No cheap wrap pretending to be paint

  • Proper high-build lacquer

  • Built to survive race conditions

  • Designed to read at speed

If you’re searching for a custom painted helmet, this is what we do.

More Than Just Helmets

Helmets are the headline act. Always will be.

But being based in Camberley Surrey gives us the freedom to work across anything that takes paint.

We don’t just do race helmets.

We can personalise:

  • Mobile phone cases

  • Laptop covers

  • Gaming consoles

  • Small plastic components

  • Motorcycle panels

  • Car interior trims

  • Dash inserts

  • Furniture

  • Restoration pieces

  • Bespoke art panels

If it can be prepped, it can be painted.

We’ve worked on everything from motorsport helmet paint to detailed interior restoration parts. Small plastic components that most people would replace? We restore and transform them. Interior trim that’s faded or scratched? We refinish it properly.

You want something personalised? We can build it.

In Surrey, there aren’t many places offering true custom airbrushed finishes done properly in-house. That’s the advantage. Controlled environment. Correct materials. Professional finish

Built in Camberley

There’s something fitting about painting race helmets here.

Surrey is synonymous with motorsport. Speed is part of the landscape, Brooklands is just down the road. That energy filters into the work.

If you’re a racer, a rider, or just someone who wants something unique that no one else owns, get in touch.

Whether it’s:

  • A custom Arai race helmet

  • A trackday lid

  • A personalised phone case

  • A laptop that doesn’t look like every other laptop

  • Or restoration work that deserves proper attention

We can do it.

If you’re searching for a custom painted helmet in Surrey, this is what we do.
