Title: Can I Spray Paint a Helmet?
Post by: The ModFather on July 17, 2011, 05:38:28 AM
Is there any reason I couldnt remove the shield tape up the ventilation and shield hole and spray paint a helmet? I'd like to get an AGV GP-TECH and found that the multi-color is about $100 less than the solid on Revzilla. I'd like to get the black multi-colored and just spray paint it Matte Black. Thoughts? The link to the helmet is below.

You can do that. Don't remove the rubber gasket at the bottom edge...just mask it.

Just so you know, that helmet was discontinued in '08. I had one that I ruined at the track. That is the reason for the reduced price.

Just that color pattern.

When I went to replace mine I ordered a multi and received plain black
