NHRA Drag Custom Painted Helmet

Probably the custom painted helmet that I have painted that has simply gone the fastest, this NHRA drag custom painted helmet was airbrushed, painted, and designed for Bryan Keller of Valley View, Ohio, representing Centerless Grinding Solutions. Bryan wanted a custom painted helmet that would match the look of his CGS drag car. Using helmet airbrushing and custom helmet painting, we created a bold graphic design that ties perfectly into the car’s aesthetics while adding some stuff that reflected Bryan himself.
The process began with looking at the NHRA drag car’s colors and design. The car’s clean lines and vibrant colors served as the foundation for Bryan’s auto racing custom helmet. We used the same palette, focusing on sharp reds, blacks, greens, white and blue, to create a seamless match between the helmet and the car. Bryan also requested additional details that went beyond the car’s design, giving us the chance to add some custom helmet airbrushing.
The custom painted drag racing helmet graphics feature stripes and bold gradients that evoke speed and power. The back of the NHRA drag racing custom helmet displays the CGS logo’s colors, framed with some more pinstripes to add to it all. This not only showcases Bryan’s team but also highlights his connection to the business.
One of the standout features of this custom helmet painting project is the pinstriping layout and style. The custom painted NHRA drag helmet was finished in a gloss PPG clearcoat to complement the high-gloss paint on the drag car. A normal modern and sharply polished look.
Bryan was thrilled with his drag race custom helmet I believe. He appreciated how the design captured the look of his drag car while adding personal touches that made the helmet uniquely his. Seeing the helmet paired with the CGS drag car at the track was probably pretty cool. The two together should have created a cohesive image that reflects Bryan’s dedication and lengthy knowledge of his NHRA drag racing career.
This project was another example of the artistry and precision involved in custom helmet airbrushing. Creating a custom painted auto helmet isn’t just about making it look good—it’s about designing something that is personal and bumps up the racer’s recognizable acknowledgement on and off the track. Bryan’s custom NHRA drag helmet achieves that by combining bold design elements with personal touches that matched his drag car that make it truly one of a kind.
Working on this custom airbrushed helmet for Bryan was a privilege that he chose me to do it. Knowing that one of our custom painted helmets would be part of the high-speed, high-stakes world of NHRA drag racing made the project even more exciting. Knowing Bryan wore his custom painted drag racing helmet as he blasted down the track at speed is a testament to custom paint and functionality that goes into every custom painted race helmet I do.
This custom painted helmet is just a piece of safety gear, but also a flashy piece of Bryan’s ideas, along side the hard work he puts into his craft. Whether it’s sitting in the drag pits or flying down the drag strip, this custom painted NHRA drag helmet hopefully caught an eye or two.
