So,

I have an orange POC Receptor Bug, and i'm really tired of the orange and would love it to be black. I don't feel like selling mine and then buying a new afterwards. Has anyone dyed/painted their helmet before? If so can you post up results, etc.

Any tips?
Different Method?


I appreciate any help!!
Thanks!!

Don't do it. The last thing you wanna fuck with is your helmet, and paint can supposedly fuck with the shells integrity.

Either get a new one or ignore the colour, cause you don't wanna cheap out on your brain bucket yo.

completely cove it with stickers. I did this with one of my old helmets that was blue and i just covered the entire helmet with black Sunday River stickers.

I just airbrushed a friends helmet from park city, I can't post pics but if you send me your cell# I'll be more then happy to text them to you.. I wouldnt go painting it if your not good with paint, it will just end up flaking/chipping off. On my friends helmet, if it gets scratched up it could be buffed out, or really scratched up I can wet sand the clear(not breaking thru the clear) I can just re-clear coat it again and it's back to new.

Thanks for the responses! I think I might just try and sell it and buy a new one!

painting your helmet makes the outer shell of the helmet weak
