I was sitting looking at my helmet today and I realised its starting to look a little sad. It's still in good nick, its just got a few stone marks etc. Also 'somehow' its ended up with blue pen drawn on it... bastards. Since it's matt it scratched really easy

Anyho, I'm thinking about giving it a spray and maybe a custom design.

Anyone done this before? Got some tips? I was thinking stencils, for my design, I can design them on the computer, print and cut them out and then just spray.

decals can be done reflective at most decal shops or sign shops. paint id say auto paint will take abuse better. i like engine enamal paint for car engine blocks. great on heat and durable.

Hey felix, in australia you need the Australian Standard's sticker from SAI global on the helmet visible or you can get a fine if a cop checks it out. Even if the helmet meets the stricter euro standards you can get a fine. So you might want to mask that off before spraying it.

You like Redbull dont you?

Helps me stand out when I'm riding. With the stupid drivers around here, I take all the help I can get. Plus it's something different. Red Bull doesn't sell helmets so I know I won't be running into the same helmet anytime soon
