Here's a thread on one I did myself with rattle can and some pinstriping. It isn't perfect or on the level of the stuff posted but I did it for under $100 including the helmet.

I just finished a painting a helmet for the wife. I also did one for myself in this thread: https://www.hdforums.com/forum/dyna-...st-done-2.html
I would like to paint some more but the wife said I don't need another helmet yet....

There is a step by step in the chop cult forum on this. I can't post a link since their site is blocked at my work. I will post it up later.

All very nice guys. But, IMHO here's the best kept secret in the motorcycle custom paint business:

Robbie Norris is a genius. I can honestly say that I don't believe there's anything that's beyond his capabilities. If you can imagine it, he can paint it on a bike.

I would argue that it takes a lot of talent to do the crazy airbrush stuff some guys do, but it takes an equal amount of talent to do the intricate paterns and heavy flake stuff. I would trust the right person for the job depending on what you want. If dudes have skulls and "true" fire all over their website, that's not the person I'm turning to to lay down a heavy flake show bike style paint job. Just my $.02.
