Also you need to take into account that you are asking the cost of a "PERFECT" esb helmet. Not a good one, not a great one, you wanted to know PERFECT. By perfect you are asking for the cost of everything that rnbuda stated in post #5, that... is a "perfect" helmet. That's alot different than you saying:
".. I’ll do my helmet and if it meets my standards paint I will offer my services.."
That's saying you don't need absolute perfection, which is what you initially asked for a price on, you really would be happy with a decent paint job and standard helmet without all the bells and whistles, so sorry, you didn't really mean a PERFECT one.
Kinda insulting, flippant, and arrogant to come in here, ask everyone what a PERFECT (big difference from a good helmet) would cost, and then start tossing shade around that that's overpriced, and you'll do it cheaper yourself and offer your services... for non perfect helmet builds?
So much fail there.
But that's just me.
