Recommended Setup for Helmet Designs?

Hi everyone,

I’m looking to get into racing helmet/sports helmet designing, and a large portion of it requires and airbrush (at least for better looks).

I wanted to come in here to see your guys’ recommendations for what I should use to make decent designs without destroying my wallet (or ruining the helmets lol).

My basic questions are:

• What airbrush should I start out with, then work into
• What paint brand is affordable yet decent quality (I know House of Kolor better considering I’ve met the founder/worked on their jet dragster team for a minute)
• Any tips and tricks?

Thanks everyone.
