VINTAGE HELL'MET
VALVE CAP

The COOL HELL'met valve cap series: our original skull flashing a cynical SMILE, wearing a vintage helmet.

---

M&Ms Sculpture.
SKULL x HELMET, crafted down to the finest detail

A SKULL face finished with the perfect expression: cool, but with a pop feel too.
The expression of a SKULL no bigger than a pinky nail, down to each individual tooth, is realistically sculpted.

We also focused on reproducing the "roundness" of a vintage helmet, where the slightest difference changes the whole look

Real painting.
A realistic texture mass production could never achieve

Each piece is carefully hand-painted, one of a kind, with a realistic texture mass production could never achieve.

Though the SKULL face is small, shadows and grime are realistically rendered with varying intensity.
Available in patterns and colors typical of vintage helmets
*The skull and helmet have different gloss levels so you can enjoy the feel of it actually "wearing" the helmet

Gimmick.
For cars, bikes and bicycles with Schrader valves

A valve cap is embedded in the body, so
it installs easily on cars, bikes and bicycles with Schrader valves

-----------------------------

[Please be sure to read]

All M&Ms sculptures are made entirely by hand, so please understand the following before purchasing

[About the warranty]

M&Ms products come with a 1-month product warranty.
If the sculpture breaks or comes off, please contact us.
*The product warranty does not cover natural aging or deterioration

[About aging and deterioration]

M&Ms license plate bolts and valve caps are finished with paint.
When mounted on a vehicle, some discoloration, fading, loss of gloss and coating deterioration will occur over time; please understand this before purchasing.
*Please understand in advance that flying stones, sand, rain, etc. may also speed up deterioration.

[About early deterioration]

M&Ms license plate bolts and valve caps undergo durability testing and aging/deterioration checks assuming "mounted on a bike" and "stored in an indoor garage."

The following conditions will speed up deterioration of the paint and coating.
Please avoid use in these conditions, or enjoy the product with aging and deterioration in mind.
*Please understand in advance that we do not offer a warranty for early deterioration under these conditions.

• Outdoor storage (storage exposed to rain and sunlight leads to early deterioration)
• Valves positioned sticking out sideways (cars, etc.) that are easily affected by rain, sand and flying stones
• Long rides in strong summer sun or facing the afternoon sun

[About the durability of the paint and body]

• Due to the nature of resin, the surface coating may lift slightly in places
• Paint is mixed each time, so colors may differ slightly from the product images

[Neon colors]

For their vivid colors, M&Ms neon colors use a special American paint.
It produces pop colors Japanese paints can't, but its durability and weather resistance are lower than Japanese paints.
Please understand this before purchasing.

[Installation notes]

*This valve cap is a little large. Please check the size before purchasing
(Confirmed to fit 18 and 19-inch wheels such as on the SR)
(Confirmed to fit the Cross Cub)
(Use caution where spoke spacing is narrow, such as on bicycles)
*Tighten securely when installing
*If ridden while loose, it may come off due to vibration
*Tightening at an angle will damage the threads
*Overtightening can damage the seal
*Check regularly for looseness
