Rude Image, a trailblazer in the realm of Custom Helmet painting, was officially launched in October of 2019. This venture was born from a vision to revolutionize the aesthetic and energy in the motorsport world. Our founder, Ryan Rudolph, embarked on this journey with a passion for helmet painting that began in his youth. At the tender age of 14, Ryan started adding a personal touch to his own helmets. His talent and passion didn't go unnoticed, and by 20, he was already painting helmets for other drivers, turning his passion into a thriving profession.
The motto “Be Different” is more than just a slogan at Rude Image; it's the cornerstone of our philosophy. This ethos is rooted in our commitment to innovate and bring forth designs that break the mold of the industry standards. Our designs aren't just about looking spectacular on the track; they're about the fine details that become evident upon a closer look. Every helmet is a canvas for a masterpiece, reflecting the unique personality and style of its wearer.
At Rude Image, we believe in using only the finest materials and paints. This ensures not just an outstanding finish but also guarantees the longevity and durability of our artwork. Our clients' needs and aspirations are at the heart of our creative process. We collaborate closely with each client to ensure that the final product isn't just a helmet, but a piece of art that they can wear with immense pride.
Since our inception, Rude Image has had the privilege of working with a diverse array of athletes from around the globe. Our clientele spans various disciplines within motorsports, including Karting, Motocross, Grand Prix, Oval Track, and SCCA. We've also made our mark in professional series like the Lamborghini Super Trofeo and IMSA. Each project is a testament to our dedication to excellence and innovation in helmet design.
