I heard somewhere that if you spraypaint your helmet, it will affect the plastic and make it crack when it gets hit hard. Is this true? or is it safe to do it?

I bought a small spray gun that uses canned air at a craft store. I used acrylic paint. That have virtually any color which is sick. I did about 4 thin coats letting it dry all the way in between each coat. Came out sooo smooth and looks sick. It scratched up but who cares. You can just paint it again!
I also took the metal vents out and painted those florecent green and painted the rivets red with a brush.
Check it out!

ive geard spray paint isnt great for helmets but as long as you use acrylic its BETTER than oil but still not recommended! then again the glue on some types of stickers also compromises the strength of helmets so ... id say go for it just with acrylic paint! post pics up after!!
