Painting a Helmet

[BigBSBusa]

Just wondering how hard it is to paint a helmet? I've got a couple that I have tried to sell, but with understably no interest. Thinking about trying something new. I know the decals would have to be removed and sanded smooth, but could I use some Dupli-Color paint on it? Just going with a single-color scheme since I have no real artistic ability. Let me know what you all think.

Back in 99-2002 I did probably over 250 Helmets

Never mind, got it. They look great. How did you do it?

I have been painting for some time and I make my own decals. I would suggest geting your paint material from Color Rite.

How hard was it to do and how long did it take you?

It's not that hard as long as you have the correct equipment. Takes about 2 days to complete.
