i am wondering if anyone has done this before?i checked around and didnt see anything. how would this affect the protection and the strength of the plastic?if you think its unsafe let me know and btw i would be doing this on a poc receptor bug.

lolz at your spelling.

But on the reals, I sprayed my helmet flat black. It looks good with a clear coat or two. I'm stoked (white to black btw)

check the 'faunt' before throwing up posts haha


seriously though if you have to boil it or whatever seems kind of risky to be doing with something like your helmet.

Go to safeway and buy some fabric dye... buy like 3 or 4 (the more u use the darker/more colour u will get). Follow the directions... take all padding/straps off the helmet u dont want to change colour. http://www.e-lacrosse.com/stech9.html (for a lacrosse stick but it works the same)

my guess is so he can tell his mate from hel apart from his other mates? those hel mates are tricky fuckers
