Re: Question for those who painted the bands -

[Guest guest]

Hi ,

The Wild Things band was my son's helmet. We actually sent it to an artist

that had her business card at the CT office. What we did is we had her paint

it before his first fitting. He had his casting and a week later the helmet

was ready - so 4 days before he had it put on for the first time we had the

artist paint it. Unfortunately I have no idea how she worked her magic so I

can not give you any more detail. Just that to not have to have the band off

for too long we had it all done before he actually started wearing the band.
