I wanna make my helmet look dope without loading it up with a bunch of stickers. I think Cody Laplantes helmet looks fire.

Just be cautious with what paint you use.

Krylon Fusion worked great on mine, it's been good for about 3 or 4 years now

I heard lead based paint works the best, and make sure to replace the mips with asbestos too

a couple years ago I sprayed my helmet with chalkboard spray and kept some chalk on me for all the homies to draw on it. it was a cool concept but a shitty helmet so I don't really use it

Just took a 4hour physics and design course on paint technology and history. I found you can in fact paint on hard plastic.

idk man i wouldn't it might explode. Maybe stick to a paint marker or Sharpie. Then you can inhale the fumes from the Sharpie and get zooted.

lotta condescending answers here but really there is some cause for concern as solvents in some paints can cause certain plastics to break down. you'll prob be fine but first i'd do some homework (on a site that isn't entirely populated by retarded people) about what paints and plastics don't play nice together

Yes I painted mine. Just throw on some waterproofing spray over the paint once it dries!
