Last year for some reason I picked out this weird light grey color, would it be better to keep it or spray paint it black? I feel like stickers look way better on a black helmet.

Spray paint wouldn't look good at all. And unless you get some really good stuff, it would most likely come off any time you hit against something.

Paint can degrade helmets causing them to provide less impact protection. Put stickers on it if you insist on having it look different than it looks now.

This right here. If you want a black helmet buy a black helmet. DO NOT PAINT IT.
