Stencil it, sticker print out, or do an outline thing. Or outline it in sharpie and paint. You got mad drawing skills anyways, so you should be able to do it.

i really hope you could somehow incorporate your designs for the scratch's into the helmet. that would be the sickest thing ever. you gotta post pics if u ever get to do it.

all you have to do is print out that stencil on grenadegloves.com and thats it. I have one of them on a windbreaker, and it looks neat.

i think just regular spraypaint... water resistanse is pretty much all i need... and i guess it should be for outdoor painting, so it doesnt crack in the sun, etc.

ive been doing this to baseball caps for years. what you do for helmets or baseball caps, is just get metal markers. what i mean is a gold leaf or silver leaf marker, like a sharpie, and you paint but with the sweet marker. i did this one hat that has an eqyptian painting and all these sweet signs on it. but thats what i would do.

i would go for regular spray piant but and like clear coat and what ever else

Wax/Grease remover (liquid in a bottle.) ie. "Goo Gone"
Scour pad (kitchen section of wal-mart. heavy duty i think. colors: yellow foam...and forest green scour part.) ie. "ScotchBrite"

1 aerosol can of automotive primer sealer (about $4) i.e. "Dupli-Color Primer Sealer"

3 aerosol cans of main color for board (about $4 ea.) i.e. "Dupli-Color"

more aerosol cans of paint if you want other colors (about $4 ea.) i.e. "Dupli-Color"
2 aerosol cans of clear topcoat (about $4 ea.) i.e. "Dupli-Color Clear TopCoat"
non windy place to paint (garage, warehouse, eye of a hurricane)
air filter thingy to go over your mouth and nose... so you're not breathing paint fumes

i found this online
