I bought a white helmet today. Is it feasible to assume a layman can pull off rattle-canning a helmet satin black? Think it would be cheap to take it to a paint shop?

 

 

cool

 

find someone who does hockey helmets. get something bad ***; to match your personality.

 

yeah, like a miata on jackstands with a turbo laying in the pass seat

 

lol

Those guies are funny. "It fell off my tailgate, and the paint's no good"

And if you had any ******* clue how a helmet worked, you'd realize that the whole ******* thing's no good either!

One impact, one time, head or no head, DONE.

I'll just repaint it, maybe slap some bondo on it. After all, it's just my helmet, nothing important inside.

They all seem really concerned with the paint fumes though. Go figure.

 

This is nice, if a little blingy...

So how long have you been mainlining your Benadryl?

 

When I take the miata to the bodyshop for this repaint I was thinking somewhere in my mind.....maybe......

Vash-

 

allergy crew for life. Peanuts in, anaphylactic shock out.

 

**** I can't even spell that. Like the begining of Hot Shots Pt Deux. Ananafalak....anaphalac....Fat face

Take heed of the warning on that link though. Solvents in general weaken helmets. If you're not careful it will look great but fail to protect you when you need it most (but I'm not one to talk, my helmet is like 5 years old and been dropped more times than I can remember .

 

Get a hold me sometime when your back and drop off your helmet.....I can paint it for you. I have several examples to show you for quality, if your interested.

 

my fav:




and for hustler:

 

Make sure it is compatible paint. Some will attack the plastic and render the helmet to the effectiveness of a stocking cap.

 

vinyl wrap yo.
