Painting a Helmet

I recent bought a white helmet with the intent to paint it. (1) Anyone know a place in the DC metro area that does great work (2) Anyone have pictures of helmets they've gotten painted. I'm looking for some ideas.... My 996 is silver with a blue top.

Thanks.

Take a peek at "Airbrush" magazine. Lots of cool ideas in there, plus I think there are guys you can send your helmut to to airbrush it... instead of getting stuck with the best guy you can find in your city. You might find one of the best in the country for the same price? Brainstorming here for ya... ;o)

Try some of the local motorcycle custom shops. Those guys usually do (or know where to get) customer helmet paint jobs.

Talk to 58spstr. He just sent his out, and the guy did an incredible job on the helmet. Google censport graphics, they are out of boise, idaho. I don't have any pictures, but Rick probably does.

Now that is HOT!!! My helmets is very simular, if not the same. I'd like silver to be the main focus with an accent on blue. What would you charge for something like that?
