admin

i would like to paint my auto darkening helmet how would i do this? im first going to remove the lense but what special prep should i do like sanding? ive never painted plastics before so i dont know if its just like painting wood and metal will spray paint work?
Reply:If a quick and cheap way go with the spray paint. I reckon they make a type of paint for out door patio furniture, and also there is car bumpers, they have a type of paint for that too.

Reply:I'm going to have mine custom airbrushed.  Was thinking of having it wrapped in clear vinyl after to protect it.
Reply:Take lense and headgear out... SPRAY. I used orange krylon fusion for plastic when I did mine. It holds if you don't beat your helmet like I do.The factory CAMO on my Miller Performance has held up great though!
Reply:Spray Bulldog on the plastic before you paint and it will stick a lot better.http://www.wmbarr.com/product.aspx?catid=1&prodid=56
