- Here's how to paint your helmet with a custom design, at home, using minimal supplies and spray paint! I cover all the basic steps, from stripping the helmet to prepping it with a scuff pad and cleaner to spray painting and stenciling techniques. I then show how to clear coat and remove the masking to reveal your own, personalized, custom helmet! These techniques could be used on a range of helmets, from racing / karting helmets to motorcycles and dirt bikes to BMX and longboarding.

Solid job, that blue is awesome
Thanks! That’s gotta be my favorite spray paint color I’ve used so far haha
3:15 seconds. No time wasted. Excellent
How do you make/get the stencils ?
What spray can brand did you use? Video didnt say
Nice job freshing up that helmet. Looks great!
What kind of stencils were those
well explained.
You turned into a joint 🔥🔥
How do you apply the masking stickers on large curvaceous surfaces, like you did on the top of your helmet, I always have problems with that.
Great video!! Thank you for the guidance.
that's actually so sick
I'm going to paint orange and blue racing stripes on my matt black helmet so they line up with my left eye, would it be easier to tape off the lines and use a paint pen?
what clear coat is that
How did you do the DOT sticker? Did you mask that off?
I just peeled it off
Great Video- Very informative. Excellent end Result. Thanks for posting.
Please, do you know the Helmet model used? is it a Bell M2 or M3 maybe? thanks
Helpful.. im not bad with a can at all.. but never did a Helmet before you gave me some cool ideas 💡 😎
I have a Sweet Protection Strutter helmet. Idk what paint to use that won't disolve the plastic
Awesome will the coat work on any acrylic paint, airbrush stuff?
What do I do about the DOT approved?
What’s the brand of this helmet?
How can i save the dot and icc sticker on my helmet? I like to customize my own helmet. also did you use matte clear coat?
I'd mask around them carefully. I did use matte clear coat!
Thanks for the idea mate 👊
Hello my name is Kashif and short for Kash
Haha thanks it's very helpful
Cool name my man!
What are the stickers called and where can I get them?
what paper did you use to remove old paint?
How long your hemlet Dry?
Sorry i'm poor ENG
I let it sit for a week to be sure it was completely dry, but it was dry to the touch after a day or so
Cool shit , very straightforward, what brand of spray you use and sand paper?
That was almost exactly what i was looking for but i want to make a galaxy with stars and colorful backrounds with some planets of different sizes too
Good luck with yours, I'm sure it'll come out great!
Im working on my among us cosplay, im doing yellow so this was very useful. Is there anyway to tint the helmet visor?
Awesome! Yes you can use automotive windshield / headlight tint on it, depending on what color you're going for. It'll take some patience but it can come out great. Good luck!
yikes
This looks really good. How long did it take you and does it scratch easy?
Wear a respirator mask when spray painting. You don’t want to inhale that stuff.
how much time does it take between two coats?
What helmet is this
Did you also remove the DOT sticker? And just put it back after?
That's what I did. Peeled it off. And I'll just add some glue to reapply
really cool man
thank you for sharing the vdo
ohh great nice job done....I would like to know which type of paint to be used to apply on helmets? any specific paint type?
I know this is like 1 year later so it may not apply but almost all helmets for consumer purchase are made of of polycarbonate and for that there are certain companies that specialize for the type of material and paint.
what brand of clear coat did you use?
What kind of sandpaper are you all using?
could you please give a list of things used.
thanks
Wow good job!
Thank you :)
After final coat you use another spary to protect helamet colour & shining.. What's the name of your last spary
It was a Matte clear code made for wheels!
Where did you get the dot sticker to put back on after painting or did you just tape it off or would that even work?
I taped it off! I'd recommend starting with a helmet with a real certification, don't cheap out on something made to save your life!
@@CashedOutCars I have done some research and some paints actually damage the structural integrity what would be a could paint to use on a plastic like material specifically that 74 dollar walmart helmet
How would you get a gloss look, similar to how the helmet started? Also does it matter what clear coat you use?
If you use gloss clear coat the finish will end up glossy!
@@CashedOutCars thanks :P
I hope the spray paint such as using the rust-oleum paints don't ruin the helmet safety! Any idea's on this?
you shouldn't do it on polycarb/plastic helmets. On fibreglass/carbon fibre helmets its great!
Do you have to keep the DOT certfied sticker visible?
I’d highly recommend it if you plan on using it for on road
How’s the paint holding up with wear and tear? Is it chipping?
It held up great while it was in use but now it’s a wall ornament since the certifications expired for most things
Where to find stencil
Be careful with the paint..... some paints contain chemicals that will weaken the structure of the helmet.... Also, masking etc should be removed "flat" to avoid peeling of the paint....
Chris Andersen would a spraypaint primer help with the weakening factor? I’m assuming by weakening, you mean that the chemicals etch into and latch onto the surface like enamels and lacquers do
It is not the paint but the helmet. If you have a plastic helmet, you can only use waterbased paint. When you are using a good quality motorcycle or car helmet, you can paint them but be carefull and do not let paint inside the helmet
2 gud imm going to try
Do some places not allow you to paint the helmet?
That is correct some places will not allow modification to helmets
cool
Do you have a video where you show how to disassemble the helmet slowly and step by step?
I do not but that would have been a good thing to film
@@CashedOutCars any chance of making one? I want to paint my helmet to match my bike but not sure how to disassemble and they don't do the helmet style I want in that colour
What is the spary name that you had used for it
Rustoleum for the spray paints!
Can you share your design for this helmet?
nice work. I like that shade of blue...it goes well with the black
What spary paint did you use? ?....will it come to if exposed to heat? ?
It's rustoleum spray paint with duplicator matte clear enamel, made for wheels and such
CashedOutCars thank you ^ ^
I have the matte black helmet would I still need to scuff it before painting
Love that blue, what's the color?
It's light blue.
You're welcome
:-)
Blue
You should not scuff/sand down The helmet in circuler motions, it makes the dust go into The small scrathes and can in some cases show to the paint. Just a tip.
Sorry for bad english, english is not my first language.
How chip-resistant is your finish?
I haven’t had any chips on mine, but I’ve also been careful with it. After 2+ years of use it still looks brand new!
Where should I get stickers ? Pls help
You could often get vinyls online of popular logos, and if not sign shops could make them custom
Where did you buy that stickers
I have a vinyl machine that I used to cut them
Where did you go for stencils?
I cut them out myself because my uncle is in the business
A little piece of advice needed here! If during the color paint job I get a little orange peeling.... should I wetsand it before clear coat? I have design and multiple color and stencils, as you do.
Or should I clear coat 3-4 layers, wetsand the subsequent peeling and then give the finishing clear coat layer?
I would probably only wetsand the clear coat. It'll come up to preference but either way just make sure the paint or clear is thick enough before you try to sand it! Good luck!
@@CashedOutCars thanks mate!!!!
What brand spray paint do you use?
Rustoleum!
Details missing mate.
How long does this last actually?
Mine has held up great since I made the video, with lots of use and running in rain!
Where did u get the stencils from
I made them myself!
CashedOutCars can I pay you to make me some
Is it waterproof
I've used it in the rain and haven't had issues!
I bought a nice Shoei helmet that someone ruined by painting it, I want to remove it lol
If I send u a design and my helmet will u do it for me ?? Do u have a price ?
Unfortunately I'm away at school and can't do work like this here
Depending on where you live I can do it. I’m in Canada and paint goalies masks . Chk out my channel for videos
Can't certain paints/chemicals mess up the helmets safety somehow? I could have sworn I read that somewhere once
Yes certain chemicals can alter the helmets shell
@@CashedOutCars what kind of paint should i use if i was going to do this myself?
A word about the type of paint?
I used Rustoleum 2x coverage spray paint with an automotive matte clearcoat made for wheels
Are they safe for this use?
Is this legal in California?
