Someone like a long time ago had pics of their helmet with an airbrushed K2 public enemy theme all over it... it looked really sick from what I remeber. Like the buildings and ghetto shit going down. so sick.

make sure you sand it with fine paper and tape of the area really well, taped a shopping bag around the rest of my helmet so it didnt get any paint anywhere else. Exept my dog knocked it off the table, i dont know how, so i used turpintine to remove the paint from where i didnt want it. bad idk, i can push my helmet in where i put turpintine

i no theres all like the krylon fusion or w/e but from personal expierience u should use rusto if ur gunna paint something.. they have nice matte colors and think primer and paint which should hold up very nicely on a helmet

well i am looking into it. They are not like the rest of the Giro lineup, or skate helmets. In stead of hardshell it is like this little flimsy plastic.....soo i dunno if i can paint it.

i painted camo on mine, and its holding up fine, just make sure to sand the glossy bit well, and use a primer. and make sure you get spraypaint thats made for plastic
