hi guys .. since my bike is not yet functioning. And i have tons of time on my hands ... just want to know what kind of paint I can use to paint my brain bucket? spray paint ba puwede na yun? how about coating? I want to create designs too pero worried ako baka the paint will just scratch off kasi pastic din siya di ba? any ideas? :D

to be sure... i think you have to consult painters talaga.... MEDY FRAME PAINTERS... sikat sa pag paint n design ng bicycle frame (during my amateur cycling time). there were also threads regarding helmet painting artist... i dunno if they were located in megamall.. but advice ko is visit them and chat with em :) baka may makuha kang info :)

Dude prepare the surface of the helmet prior to painting. This will prevent the paint to flake off from the helmet. The secret in attaining a good repainting job is in the preparation. Sand the surface using 800 wet/dry sandpaper then apply primer. Sand the primer using 1000 wet/dry sandpaper prior to spraying the paint. You can use paint in a can. remember to seal it with a clearcoat so that the finish will be glossy and protected.
Good luck.:)

thanks jeff_o and spdfgtr.

i'll do that. Thinking of making a magneto design for my open face helmet and a camouflage design on my half-helmet.

thanks again.

im thinking of painting my blue HJC to black. is it ok to use heat resistant paint in cans or should i go for pylox? also, do primers and clear coat come in spray form or yung kailangan ng paint brush? can i just cut to the chase and just sand and apply the paint? finally, does painting helmets affect the protection factor of the lid?

thanks

I was just wondering, where can I have my helmet "chromed"? Has anyone actually chromed a helmet before? Does anyone have the facilities to do that here in the country? I'm trying to save up on cash by doing that (if its possible) rather than getting a new one way out in the US. All manner of help appreciated.

Regards,
Mike D.
