At the Dia Design studio, a bold and explosive new project comes alive: a bespoke custom racing helmet painting crafted for young karting talent Noah Pantuso, one of the most promising young drivers in the Italian and European karting scene.
Piloting his official Birel ART chassis powered by a BMB 60cc engine with the Racers Group Kart Team, Noah is enjoying an extraordinary 2026 campaign in the ultra-competitive Easykart 60 Under 10 Trophy. His season credentials are truly impressive: a sensational Pole Position in the season opener at Franciacorta, a hard-fought 2nd-place podium at Viterbo, alongside podium finishes at Jesolo and Ala. These results have propelled Noah to 3rd place worldwide in the World Karting Rankings (WKR) for his class.
To match his fierce racing speed on track, Roberto and Noah trusted Dia Design to create a striking livery on the benchmark junior racing shell: the Arai CK-6.
Graphic Concept: Shark Mouth, Cobalt Blue & Fluo Yellow “X” Motifs
The visual concept for Noah was developed to fuse aggressive comic-style racing aesthetics with high-end motorsport craftsmanship:
- Aggressive Frontal Shark Mouth: The front profile and chin guard are commanded by a menacing shark jaw featuring razor-sharp pearl white teeth meticulously bordered over a rich racing red base. This aggressive styling frames the iridescent mirrored visor, giving the helmet an unmistakable predator look on the starting grid.
- Electric Cobalt Blue Metallic Base: The dome and flanks of the shell are coated in an intense electric cobalt blue, radiating rich depth and luminous reflections under track sunlight.
- Stylized Fluo Yellow “X” Motifs: Slashing across the blue backdrop are custom stylized “X” graphic elements in neon fluo yellow. Engineered with bold line thickness, they inject energetic urban-racing style that pairs seamlessly with the fluo details of his Birel ART kart livery.
- Italian Tricolor & “Pantu” Lettering: The lower rim of the visor showcases the green-white-red Italian flag paired with the surname PANTUSO, while the back of the helmet is personalized with Noah’s nickname: “Pantu”.
Professional Kart Helmet Airbrushing: Junior Weight Optimization & 2K Durability
Executing motorsport helmet painting on a junior shell like the Arai CK-6 requires meticulous precision. Designed under the stringent Snell-FIA CMR safety standard, junior kart helmets demand minimal paint weight buildup to ensure optimal neck protection and weight balance for younger racers.
- Precision Surface Prep: Manual dry sanding and ultra-thin direct-adhesion composite primer application.
- Fine Line Masking: Razor-sharp layout execution for the shark mouth teeth and geometric placement of the fluo crosses.
- High-Opacity Pigmentation: Layering high-grade automotive pigments (fluorescent, metallic, and solid hues) without unnecessary paint thickness.
- 2K High-Solid Clear Coat: Final sealing with premium two-component clear coat (2K high-solid clear coat) engineered to resist high-speed tyre rubber, gravel impacts, fuel splatters, and weather exposure during intense race weekends.
