Repainting Helmets

[FFD3098]

Question for all of you: I have a Cairns 1010 I would like to paint from yellow to black, have any of you done this? What would be the best paint to use? Thanks for the feedback

Cairns had at one time for sale paint made specificaly for helmets. I'm not sure if they still offer this, or if it was just for leather.

Are you sure that you want to repaint a plastic helmet? I don't know how well paint would adhere to that especially once heated. Cairns does manufacture paint for painting Leather helmets, don't know how well it would work on plastic though. If you go to www.thefirestore.com they sell it. Otherwise you could try a quality paint from the hardware store. I found that semi-gloss comes up with the best looking finish.
Hope this helps somewhat.
