How do you guys get your pin striping so accurate? Are you using a certain type of xacto? Like a double blade or something?

The NHRA racer who I painted a helmet for a couple months ago sent me some photos of it in action this weekend. Pretty cool dragster! "Outta Control" is pretty close to the ones I used to doodle on my notebooks in school when I was a kid.

I don't think anything I've airbrushed has ever gone this fast! It sure is a neat experience for me. I liked how he put some foam in the cage to keep the helmet from getting scratched up.

Hi Kevin,

The red is candy apple red from RCS and is backed with RCS chrome and then auto air black.
