Pimped my helmet - In the name of SAFETY!

[skedonki]

Decided my standard black Airoh was a "safety hazard". Went and got some reflective vinyl sheeting (from a signs/numberplate maker), pinstriping for "zeffing" your car from Midas and a lot of patience.

First laid out design in masking tape. Once design was finalized, I added another layer of masking to strengthen and proceeded to remove the template from the helmet.

Then stuck template onto old ADT board to cut out to have a nice rigid template. Then used ADT template to transfer to vinyl sheeting:

Once vinyl sheet was cut, I took my box of patience and started to apply it to the helmet. The problem was sticking it without leaving bubbles or rimples around the turns whilst trying to keeep to the lines I drew with a pencil before I removed the masking tape.
Finally, after one or two tears in the sticker, the result:

I still had to remove some bubbles with a needle. The rimples I tried to remove with some heat and rubbing, seemed to work. I used a small blow torch with a fitting to make heat without the flame.

Then came the pinstriping:

I also had some yellow vinyl...

(Pity I didn't have orange...  ot

O yes, I forgot the safety part. It reflects!

Please tell me what you think, even better, feel free to give some suggestions!
