Brad started off painting signs and putting numbers and letters on race cars, but now, through his business Bullseye Visual, he focuses solely on helmets.
"People say what do you do? I paint helmets, for race car drivers. They go, oh, that's cool. What's your real job? Well, no that's my real job," Brad said."Not many people know, I'm in here doing this around here," Brad said."Everybody wants their helmet personalized and they gotta come from somewhere.""My dad raced bicycles, motorcycles and all that stuff. So you'll see everybody in racing is kind of like that.
"NASCAR, sprint car, and drag racing... I used to do Olympic helmets, ski racing helmets, X Games," Brad said."By the time one is done, I'm just sick of looking at it. When I can see somebody wearing it, it's in a racecar, it's exciting," he said. This weekend, Brad will see his work on display when Indy native Ed Carpenter looks to qualify for the 107th running of the Indy 500.As he nears 30 years of painting helmets, he's starting to slow things down.
However, he admits there are a group of drivers, including Ed Carpenter, that will still get him out in the garage with a paintbrush.
