you have to be VERY careful when painting a helmet.  The outter layer of the helmet is part and parcel of the safety of the helmet itself, by preventing punctures and intrusion into the foam interior, and many car/professional paints, and clear coats will break down the compound this layer is made of, therefore compromising significantly the safety of your helmet in an accident.

Don't even get me started on helmet age......

you are right! in fact the painted helmets I have are just for shows, normally I ride with a proper helmet

Cheers...

good subject.

I've done some art work on my lids in the past. No pics of those. I almost always paint this on the back of mine...
