Airbrushed custom motorcycle helmets feature a different process than just inserting a sticker on a helmet. Stickers are susceptible to wear and tear whereas a custom airbrush motorcycle helmet features artwork that is painted on and thus of a higher quality. Custom airbrushed motorcycle helmets are painted by an airbrush, which is a small air-operated tool that sprays ink, die or paint in a process of atomization. A custom airbrushed motorcycle helmet is made by passing a stream of compressed air through a venturi, which creates a suction that allows paint to be pulled up from a reservoir at atmospheric pressure. The high velocity of the air atomizes the paint into tiny droplets as it blows past a fine paint-metering component.

Other Custom Motorcycle Helmets

There are also other styles of custom motorcycle helmets such as chrome style helmets, which offer a shiny glow or German spiked helmets that bring a vintage look to your appearance. Custom motorcycle helmets do not always have to be a matter of taste, but of comfortable fitting.

There are also custom womens' motorcycle helmets and custom youth motorcycle helmets, which may have size specifications and or unique designs on the outer shell.
