Re: new to the group/professional band painters San Diego area?

[Guest guest]

Hi ,

Welcome to the group! You can ask your ortho if he/she knows of anyone

who paints bands. When my baby was in treatment, they had a bulletin

board and on it was info about a person that painted bands. I've also

added some info to your subject line. I'm sure if some in SD knows of

a painter they'll let you know. Let us know how you make out. I hope

you'll post pics of your banded baby.

I think Cranial Technologies had a link on their web site for a

local painter in SD... I am there as well and just got my band last

Friday.

Hello,

My son Garett just graduated from the starband today. We went to

scope in san diego and they recommended to not paint the band/helmet

because if they have to make adjustments the paint will get messed

up. We ordered his helmet with a design but you can get stickers at

michaels craft store. good luck.

I've never heard that before. We have many members here who have gotten

their baby's bands/helmets painted. The inside of the band is

adjusted, not the outside. I've never heard of an adjustment

ruining a paint job.

It can nick the edge if they have to make an adjustment to the

sideburns or forehead. na and Kiersten's had just a hair shaved

off - no big deal really. These types of adjustments are usually

done when they first get the band but every now and then they are

made during treatment. It's nothing major - or shouldn't be. Just

know the edge may get nicked which can then lead to the whole thing

chipping - yikes!

LOL - I guess you have to be a painter

Speaking of which I just painted Kiersten's. It's already chipped in like 4 places. Didn't last long but I just had to do it once before she graduated. Here are the pics ..
