bluecoup Posted March 28, 2010 Share Posted March 28, 2010 you have to be carefull spraying crash helmets depends on what the shell is made of, leave the ruber strips on around bottom and visor opening but most sprays and the fumes they give off will eat at the styrenne used inside to cushion impacts making is less effective if needed, it might not absorb any shock at all, only way is it get it done by a pro imo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Another thing that can cause problems is stickers, depends on the adhesive but these can weaken them too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
j1mb0b1 Posted March 29, 2010 Author Share Posted March 29, 2010 Well it does not look like a good idea from what you guys are saying . Shame may have to buy a new helmet then, as I really would like it to be yellow . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ric Posted March 29, 2010 Share Posted March 29, 2010 Well it does not look like a good idea from what you guys are saying .

bluecoup Posted March 29, 2010 Share Posted March 29, 2010 ah yeah the stickers have to use glue from vegtables not meat for some reason the meat glue causes problems as well, try buying stickers and asking if the glue is meat or veg lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
j1mb0b1 Posted March 30, 2010 Author Share Posted March 30, 2010 you can get it done, you just need to get it done professionally by a person who sprays helmets! And that would cost a mint, To be honest the helemts only a cheapo cost me £80 so dont think it's really worth it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
