anyone ever done it , and i'm not talking bout when you were 14 with your first dirt bike :-P

my newest steed is a triumph adventurer in jet black w lucifer orange eyebrows and would love to paint a helmet to match .

thought about it before but kinda figured the repaint might compromize the helmets integrity , then i recently bought a new 'round town scorpion helmet and it even gave directions for repaint as in taping off sliding vents and so forth .

i have an hjc full-face that is just dying to be repainted (sold the honda it matched).

There's no problem at all to paint helmets. You just have to use the right method and the right product. I paint many helmets every year and never had any problem.
