Helmet Help (paint)

[inabit]

hello,

 

right ive got the fans and mic ready to install, but i want to strip it all down first and paint the inside black and re install everything, get it looking good and up together in there.

 

what i need to know is do you need a certan paint for the inside, or is a case of as long as its black.

 

cheers

I just did mine last night and used Plasti-dip. It is some type of rubber like substance. $5 at home depot

thanks pal, im sure we have something like this in the UK

Whatever works for you is cool

So long as it's black

There's no requirements or anything (otherwise they'd probably want it greenish)

That plasti-dip stuff looks pretty good, btw

dip on order should be with me next week cheers

I was wondering about painting the inside of helmets. Does it show through to the outside at all? I have the AP kit. Does it make your eyes harder to see through the lens? Would a layer of paint compromise future gluing in of fans etc? Ie would the paint be a weaker bond point compared to gluing directly to the plastic?

I used a common satin black after giving the inside a light sand. I did sand off the paint where I wanted to use glue as I didn't want things to fall out

How did you get it so smooth? Is this brushed in? It looks great!

 

I have to remake my helmet as I had a nickel size hole on the front left face, I repaired it and it looked great for about 2 months now cracks are spreading so its time to start from scratch.
