Sorry again to everyone for the delay. I really wanted to release these around early spring, but a cross country moved really slowed that down. Never the less I’ve still been designing like crazy and chasing down manufacturing. I’ve had to start over and went thru 8 different vendors working on pricing, colors, and materials.
I’ve found a good vendor and finally 100% done on the first design. I’ll get some better images, but I just finished wrapping this helmet with the new vinyl. Final design for the productions kits won’t have the large branding on the visor, unless someone wants to run that.
This is how the kits will be delivered. I’ve settled on some really nice vinyl that has micro-holes (invisible to the eye) that helps releases trapped air if you get a small air bubble and is super user friendly to lay down.
I’ve got roughly 5 different design styles complete each with around 3-4 different color ways. Below is a sample of one in progress. Also I’m working on a template for driver name, flag, & number as a simple add-on to the kits.
Nice looking designs, and I LOVE the idea of the micro-holes in the vinyl to help release trapped air bubbles! GREAT idea! Way to go! What do you think you’ll be pricing them at?
My goal is still to be around the $100-125 mark. Looks like that should be possible. Need to figure out some logistics on shipping costs. My goal is to ship them in a strong cardboard tube instead of an envelope style packing to keep them well protected, but that will cost a bit more to ship.
Website is on the way. Could be done faster, but I kinda enjoy learning and doing these kinda things myself. Final R&D set is printing for one of our forum members. I have 4 more design concepts being printed. It’s all coming together. Thanks again to everyone for the support.
I take back what I said about white. The blue on white looks good. If you look at the majority of the helmets that will be stickered, they will likely be white. Just a thought and you may have already considered this: Make a set of stickers that pop on a white helmet.
Now you need to have cool trade name, “stickers”
don’t do these justice.
