Coullie I moved your thread to a board that might be visited by all our members (not just those w/SEVR's) as I know some have had helmets painted to match their bikes. Hopefully some that have had this done will post some pictures of their helmets. Any custom painter worth carrying that title (custom) should be able to match/design what ever you want. Many of our members have had tins (fenders, fairings, etc) painted to match their bikes so I wouldn't think it would be hard (impossible) for a good painter to create you a helmet of your liking.

Been there, done that. Be sure whoever does the work understands you expect a high quality item and then be willing to spend the $ to get it. Time & money, you can get by with less of one if you have more of the other.

Make absolutely sure that the person you choose to do the painting fully understands the safety implications involved with painting a helmet.  The various solvents used in the paint process can destroy or seriously degrade the foam shock absorbing material as well as the comfort padding, making your beautiful matching helmet pretty much worthless in terms of actually protecting you.  When helmets are painted by the manufacturer, they don't have the interior materials installed yet.  If you plan to repaint one with all the interior parts in place, I'd suggest contacting the helmet manufacturer for suggestions on how to do so without degrading the helmet.

To second the thought, it is CRITICAL that your painter knows how to paint helmets. You can't use heat to cure the paint. Try Gunslingers in Golden, CO. It will be pricey.
