Default So I hated this helmet......

So I painted it!!

Since it is getting that time of the year where this full face would come in handy, I figured I would paint it to match my bike.

It use to match my Vulcan I had. The helmet is really comfy and broken in perfectly. I didn't care to sell it or get another.

Im not an expert and all I used was spray cans - But I gotta say it turned out pretty good.

Im gonna mask it off some more and try doing a simple design using gloss black. Right now, this is just flat black. I thought the gloss black on flat black would look cool. I may do my half helmet if this one turns out decent.

Here's a few pics:

That's pretty cool. Wayyyyyyy out of my experience range with painting though. If I attempted it, it would probably look more like a vagina on my face.... Then again - that sounds pretty cool too. Hahaha
