A custom graphic project crafted with passion and precision comes out of the Dia Design workshop for GT driver Rafael Durán, competing on the international motorsport stage in the Ferrari 296 GT3 Evo with Rinaldi Racing and AF Corse.
Born in 2006, fresh off a remarkable Silver Cup victory at the 79th 24 Hours of Spa, and currently pursuing a degree in mechanical engineering, Rafael brings an analytical mindset to racing setup telemetry. He entrusted Dia Design with his custom Bell racing helmet painting project on a top-spec Bell HP7 carbon shell, developing a bespoke visual identity rich in personal identity and chromatic symbolism.
Chromatic Symbolism: Spain & Brazil on the Bell HP7 Shell
The artwork on the Bell HP7 carbon helmet develops over a crisp pure white base, elevated by metallic gradients, fine-line tapework, and ultra-high-brilliance clear coats:
- Homage to Spain (Gold & Red Silver): The frontal and side sections merge vibrant gold with red silver, creating a warm, aggressive contrast directly referencing the Spanish national flag.
- Homage to Brazil (Green Silver & Gold Top): The upper crown of the helmet integrates an elegant blend of green silver and gold, crafting a distinctive tribute to the iconic colors of the Brazilian flag.
Professional Motorsport Helmet Painting & 2K Protection
To withstand the harsh environmental factors of GT endurance racing in the GT World Challenge Europe and International GT Open — where track debris, rubber marble impact, and thermal stress test helmet surfaces — the professional helmet airbrushing process at Dia Design includes a multi-stage 2K high-solid clear coat application.
