visibility is great, its like looking out of a window with a screen on it. I have been caught in the rain thou and that was a bad experience. The water gets stuck in the holes causing no visibility. Its more for show than to ride everyday with.

how long did it take to do that and how long did it take you to learn how to airbrush? Ive been wanting to get into airbrushing and hand pinstripping. I can hand pinstripe fairly well but I suck at airbrushing right now. I can get my colors to stay separate. They all blend in and there are no lines.

It took me roughly seven hours to complete the helmet after prep. I picked it up almost imediately, i have always been a artist with pencil and paper. Changing medium was not so bad, it was actually simpler that using a pencil. Air Brushing is all about stenciling most of the time, but that joker helmet was completely done freehand. If you want to get a sharp line you will need a good gravity fed airbrush, like the Iwata Eclipse. That is the best brush as far as quality and money. If you want good crisp detail you will need to tape and stencil. Its a pain in the *** but it pays off in the end. Belive it or not i think pinstriping is harder than the airbrush. But both have their tricks.
