I have a plain white helmut and was thinking of painting it. I then started to wonder if certain/all paints would chemically react with the shell and compromise the helmut.

Anyone know if this is a possible problem or do I just think too much?

a good spray paint shop will doa professional job without compromising anything.
But for the reaction, you thinking too much

I just bought some stickers and "riced" mine out.

i just left mine black.


Less is more

Since we are being cheesy here...

There used to have a helmut working at my office, he was such a nice little german guy. But he did have an annoying german accent with all that 'gher-uuom-laud' stuff, and I now understand why somebody would want to paint him, maybe red or something, but i think the chemical thing would be a bit too much for even the little krout to handle.

But seriously, I met mark martin, #6 Rousch Racing and had him autograph my helmet last summer, he signed it in HUGE script across the back. I sprayed some clear coat poly over it so that it wouldn't rub off. I put it on real thin, 3 coats.....

It seems to have done ok. You won't have any problem painting it. It'll be fine.


Hey, I'm just having fun, eh?

I wasent joking on mine, I really did.

I had a buddy with some paint experience try to do mine to match the car... it flashed and cracked on him twice. A real paint shop quoted me $600 to paint it.
So I still have a white helmet.

I glued an affro (hair wig) to one of mine. That made for a funny day once.
