  • Managed to score a POC enduro helmet stupid cheap in the wiggle fire sale. It’s cheap because it is a tasteful shade of pink. Would spray painting it a different colour a massive no-no? If not, any advice on best paint/techniques to use?

  • I would sticker it up.

  • If the liner is EPS, the solvents in spray paint will probably degrade it - if it is EPP then it should be more solvent resistant but many paint types will bead rather than cover.
    The hard shell might be ok with a suitable plastic primer and much masking (see above) but I wouldn't.
    With any luck someone with a greater understanding will spot this and post a better answer for you.

  • You'd probably be ok with acrylic paint (you won't get that in Halfords - Go to London Graphics in Covent Garden for that, it isn't cheap).
    I'd avoid cellulose paint or anything with adhesive (like stickers) both have a habit of degrading the sort of plastics that helmets are made of.

  • Fablon / sticky backed plastic. Always did the job on Blue Peter :)

  • Draw cocks all over it with a Sharpie.
