custom painted helmets. anyone have any custom painted helmets? lets see some pics and who do you recommend? i am looking to get a black simpson painted with a Grim Reaper theme or a Bear theme (grizzly bear not chicago bears). any ideas? mods feel free to move this i though the drag racing section would fit best.

My Dad's... Hard to show it all in a picture but here it is:
I got a Simpson Bandit. I'm either painting it the color of my car with some graphics/flames added or just flat black with skull and cross bones.

I'm sorry to get alittle off track but it's not worth starting another thread.
What's the legality with custom painted helments? I know some tracks won't pass helmets even if they have non factory stickers on them. All I want to do is change a helmet from white or silver to black, but I also don't want to throw away $300+.

Yeah that would really suck about it... $250 Helmet and the a $200 paint job and not be able to use it......

yeah i can see the tech problems, im not really looking to compromise my safety, but these helmets look so boring. i think ill still go through with it, a painted helmet beats no helmet on the street.
