What to Expect:

Once we’ve agreed on the plan and received your item, typical restorations are completed within 3 weeks. Turnaround time may vary depending on our workload.
Important Considerations:
While most helmets and liners are eligible for restoration, some may not be ideal candidates due to large cracks, severe dents, or rim damage. However, we can often minimize these issues and improve the overall appearance, depending on the severity of the damage. The better the condition of the original material, the better the results we can achieve.
