How NASCAR Drivers Custom Helmets Are Painted! Inside Off Axis Paint Shop Tour!
What happens here
The process begins with receiving new blank helmet shells, which can be made from carbon fiber or composite materials. Each helmet is meticulously checked in and then fully disassembled. This involves removing all internal padding, external hardware, and the visor to ensure only the bare shell remains. Critical areas that should not be painted are then carefully taped off to protect them during the subsequent painting stages.
Goal: Prepare the raw helmet shell for painting.
